Parents want honest labeling for media content

Published May 16, 2026 7:00am ET



When I shop for groceries, I look at the ingredients list on food packaging. There are certain additives I try to avoid, such as sucralose or high-fructose corn syrup. If I see those ingredients listed, it goes back on the shelf, and I know to look for an alternative. It is a highly individual decision, one others might disagree with, but my choices in that matter do not affect or constrain the decisions of other families whose scruples differ from mine, any more than their preferences affect or constrain mine.

Shouldn’t parents have the ability to do the same thing when they are shopping for media content for their children?
