For TV and Cable/Sattelite I assume that channels MUST have a tag that describes them (KID, REALITY, MOVIE, ADULT etc.) and every single one has those tags. When you turn on the parental lock those with tag ADULT or PORN get locked and don’t show on the list or require password.

For internet sites there could be a list of them or same system with tags that are updated periodically to provide best protection.
