> Require device manufacturers/software distributors to sort out a "child mode" switch you can flip upon device initialization, in-your-face and unmissable, and then have apps/webpages be able to see whether the device reports it's in child mode.

Wouldn't even need to develop anything new for this outside of a simplified UI over an MDM. Devices already support an incredible amount of monitoring and control, even iDevices, via MDMs.

But MDMs are for now only business/enterprise products, and are priced as such.

Makes me wonder if there's a market there for someone to just package up a consumer-focused, dead simple to use MDM. Enroll with QR code, set up some default policies, etc.
