. If my job were to think up ways to prevent something i would also try to think of the easiest ways to defeat my proposal just to make sure it’s not a stupid or useless rule
Even easier than that. Simply make “kid mode” that won’t display a single image resulting in a text only phone that is fully in compliance with the demand. “Adult mode” would behave exactly as phones do today. Five minutes after a parent buys the phone and the kid figures out there are no pictures, the parent would enable “adult mode” and never look back.

I present you: the fully compliant phone.
Ah, but there still might be explicit text?
Better for your ‘fully compliant phone’ to just display nothing whatsoever in ‘kid mode’.
The regulation calls for zero explicit text filtering compliance. It calls only for blocking explicit images.
So far…
Right, we agree. When and if a further compliance regulation exists, they can build a product to meet that requirement, maliciously or otherwise.
