When I was a kid (way too many years ago) my parents gave up trying to restrict my Internet usage because no matter what they did I could easily get around it. I knew more about networking than they did. Then I grew up to become an IT administrator.
I didn't restrict my kids Internet access, but I did tell them that even though I'm not tracking everything they're doing online, the ISP, the school, upstream providers, search engines, social medias, advertisers, and pretty much everyone else will be.
