If you don’t want your kids accessing certain websites then the onus is on parents to control access. I do. If you want to do this structurally do it with ISPs and mobile carriers with router and SIM level filtering.
Put age limits on the ability to buy a device, SIM or internet package like we do for so many other things. It would be trivial to restrict access (and just as easy for smart kids to bypass as the current system).
Don’t use an iPad to babysit your child. Let them discover technology in an environment you’re confident and comfortable with. But it’s your job as a parent.
Or is all this really just about more mass surveillance under the guise of protecting the children?
Being a libertarian is one thing, but acting like there is no good justification from those whom you oppose, is just… dishonest.
Bike helmet laws enjoy very widespread support nationwide and nobody is under any illusion as to their posed vs actual societal benefit. You’ve made up some boogeyman.
A helmet is much cheaper than the bicycle is it not? If you can afford the bike you can probably get the helmet.
