You must have not heard of parental control features. Is limiting a child's screen time also "human rights abuse"?

> parental control features

This is control by an authoritarian state, not by parents. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Yes. The fact that a large number of people abuse their children this way doesn't make it acceptable any more than it made beating them with belts acceptable back when that was common.

No, we are not talking about parents. Unless you are implying that people should receive their social, cultural, etc. values from a government?

Way to escalate an issue about teenagers playing a video game.

If you've been through a public education system you've already received social and cultural values from a government.
