This is really interesting and I would definitely want it to give kids access. Too much out on the interwebs. How would it work if parents allowed a kid safe relay but had a disagreement on what was kid safe. Maybe one wants to filter out fantasy-violence. Another parent wants to restrict access to faith related content. But the relay considers both safe and blocks drugs, explicit content, and real-violence? Would that eliminate the access to the whole kid safe relay? Or would it allow access but block those message events that don’t match its filter?

In general i refer back to the previous article. The system (from a childs perspective) leans heavily on the white-list mode of operation, and not (so much) on black-listing/filtering. The moment you trust a relay, you should generally agree with the type of content on that relay. If you don't trust/agree with a relay policy; don't trust/use it on a relay-feed level. If you trust particular Npubs, it will fetch its content regardless from what relay it may happen to host it (outbox model). It makes more sense for relays, that advertise themselves as relevant/adequate for children to be highly specialized. Think a school relay, or a media organization relay, a library relay, a relay managed by some parent group with a particular worldview/religion etc. In general a lot more relays should specialize more, and in a way you could think of relays as websites View quoted note →
