Fun fact, you have to go into an account and verify you're of legal age for most big phone networks in the UK before they'll let you see adult content.

Simple on/off switch for the account with parental settings.

The whole protect the kids thing? Absolute fabrication.

Doesn't stop them connecting to WiFi at the local coffee shop though. Plenty of open WiFi networks around with very little filtering on them.
