    This should really be done at the home network level, anything else is similar to someone coming into my own home and telling me how to raise my kids.

    Routers have had parental controls for years, all it takes is designating a separate network for kids devices with a whitelist of approved websites.

    Hell the government can even curate a list of approved websites for each age group and provide this list accessible in all routers.

    Schools could even use these same curated whitelists to only make certain websites avaliable within a school.

    Anything else is a governments and corporations overreach and borderline privacy invasive.

      That’s pretty sensible. However, most people are not sensible.

      Also, most people are only semi-literate. Even more people are technologically illiterate. Most people don’t know what a router is or how to configure it, and they don’t want to. It’s not just ignorance that’s a problem, it’s also the malign refusal to learn, or refusal to believe that one can learn.

      Yeah it’s almost like they don’t care for children at all and the point is the invasion of privacy, control, and oppression…
