> But it takes a lot of time and effort to filter the content your child consumes.

It really doesn't if you use the tools available.

For instance Amazon FreeTime (https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-FreeTime-Unlimited-Monthly-Sub...) gives you a curated library that is appropriate for the age range you set.

There's no microtransaction apps or other nonsense like that.

You can even set limits like "30 minutes app time per day", "30 minutes book time", "30 minutes video time", etc.

You can also remove or add specific apps you want your kid to have access to.

Honestly it's wonderful to give a young kid that level of autonomy and access to information. You should still pay attention to what they do. But there's no need to give them access to the open internet or to curate everything yourself.
