YouTube's age restricted content policy is "good".  That is to say,
it's not perfect, but it's a lot better than Wikipedia's policies.  My
kids are much more likely to run across hard core pornography while
clicking around on Wikipedia than clicking around on YouTube.
Personally I'd prefer they rely more on whitelisting than on
blacklisting - but what they do is already a *lot* better than
Wikipedia.
