    It’s insane - I don’t give unrestricted internet access (certainly no social media) to my 9 year old, let alone a 6 year old!

    Parent education is needed badly!

      It’s because of the idiots that proudly announce that they “don’t do computers”. Refusing to understand even at a fundamental level the most basic parts of computing is like refusing to learn to read, it’s just not acceptable in modern life.

      Yep. But these authoritarians do not think you should have a choice. Because some parents fail. They will use the claim to control all internet.

      It is no accident that the solution is the force data sharing with the least trusted companies when it comes to data.

      Just as smart folks choosing to pay VPN as more trusted then sharing data with random porn sites scares the crap out of them.

      It’s got little to do with protecting anyone. Def not your children.
