I'm fed up with this shit. My parents educated me on the internet and the potential of seeing things you don't want to see. They knew there was no change to 100% block or monitor what we did and instead made sure that they were always there if we did see something disturbing.
Now I'm at the frontier age of getting kids and I just know that my kids will be just as smart in circumventing this kind of bs as I was (school monitoring web traffic ain't working with a vpn) and I will gladly teach them about the internet. Hell, I'll even take them back to when the internet of old and show what kind of crap we had to deal with.
Solutions like these are like a bandaid. You're not solving the problems. And even that is a utopian thought, but they ought to focus on the people that make the web unsafe, not the kids
It is never about the kids.
