Thank you, I was so confused I didn't know how to reply to them. I was like "but we're specifically talking about taking away all autonomy from kids. This is the opposite."

It's super wild to me that there are so many people who parenting as "I own this child" and not "I am the proximate caretaker of this independent person."

This makes no sense. Both sides of this interaction already seem to agree that the child should be restricted.

One uses it as a justification for the sanitizing of the internet and the other thinks it should be the parents job.

Don't pretend to champion some sort of bigger faith in children, that was never the point of the discussion

Perhaps there are more than two sides, or the sides aren't what you think they are.
