Do they actually know how the technology works? They will have to scan everything inbound and outbound connections, basically managed devices.
Apple and Google have been given a three-month ultimatum to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images on their smartphones, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday.
You can literally do most parental controls with your home network if you know what you are doing which means those that don’t will have to learn, I know how terrible a parent has to learn something to take care of their child. You can even enforce it outside the house by setting up a tunnel to your home network on a phone and making it so the phone has to use the tunnel in order to connect to the internet otherwise there is no internet access, so your network parental controls are always enforced. Hell you could make it so the phone only gets internet access when home too, to enforce even more limitations on internet access.
Yes this will require constant updating as things change and you discover workarounds and new apps are developed, but as a parent aren’t you supposed to be constantly learning and adapting for your child anyways? You may even need to buy some gadgets too which again is nothing new for a parent to do to protect their child.
This shit can already be done but lazy parents and shitty governments are going to make it everyone’s problem.
The fact that you think this shows that you’ve never even attempted to set up parental control…
And sure, let’s have parents who work 10-12 hours just so the family survives, do YET ANOTHER chore, which they need to constantly manage.
How about instead of that, big tech can get their shit together and provide proper parental controls? Including router manufacturers. It’s minimal effort from them, makes life easier for millions of parents.
Its really not that hard to do you could literally find a youtuber to walk you through the whole process since it seems you could use some hand holding with tech.
But hey if you didn’t want so many chores to do after working long hours maybe consider that before having a child. Not my fault parents didn’t think it would be a lot of work.
I mean yeah that would be great if big tech could provide us with more protections and stop tracking everything we do but they aren’t going to and governments take their bribes so they won’t force them to. So parents are going to need to figure out how to protect their children and adapt to our online world. You can learn these skills and protect your children or not its up to you.
Your entire take is idiotic as best.
As a society we should strive for making life easier for everyone, but especially those who are having trouble with technology due to lack of time or resources.
The solution isn’t to go online and start spouting off about “how you should’ve considered that you’ll need to learn a dozen new technologies just to raise your kid”, but to provide actually actionable, simplified enough solutions that people can utilise.
Your take is especially idiotic when you put it in perspective of ALL OUR FUCKING PRIVACY RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED because parents are already struggling to keep their kids safe. And you just shrug your shoulders and tell others to parent better? What kind of a fuckwit are you?
