I don’t think it’s uncharitable at all. That sounds entirely like it’s saying parents shouldn’t be held responsible for knowing about the things they buy their children.
If anyone buys their kid a phone/tablet/computer and gives them unfettered access to the Internet because they think it’s “just a gaming machine” is irresponsible.
I’m not saying a parent should, or could deny their kid access, but you need to AT THE BARE MINIMUM understand what you are putting in that kid’s hands.
How many adults can say they understand what devices they put in their own hands? Practically none.
I’m merely pointing out the huge difficulty here, these things are engineered to manipulate us. It’s not as simple as “well, parents should simply know what to do”.
Your read was uncharitable cuz the comment you replied to directly said they “in no way support this”, and was written from the very first premise as being ABOUT parents who DO NOT or CAN NOT understand the danger you go on to strawman and bitch about.
Again - your reading was uncharitable, it did not try to take the commenters actual point of view, it simply ranted about what you felt like talking about, that they never said.
Very clearly not advocating that, what an uncharitable read.
