I can't agree. This teaches kids that the government is the answer to everything. this should 100% be the responsibility and decision of parents. Kids are different, and these one-size-fits-all authoritarian tactics that have become a signature of the current GOP Floridian government are just the beginning of the totalitarian christofascist laws that they want to implement. Before you ask, I am a parent, and my kid's devices all have this crap blocked and likely will remain that way until he's at least 15, give or take a year depending on what I determine when he gets to that age. He knows that there are severe ramifications if he tries to work around my decision, and will lose many, many privileges if such a thing happens.

If you ignore history, yes, it may teach kids that the gov is the answer. Don't ignore history.

Yeah I hate that at the first sign of trouble people run to the government.

My kid, and I have told my wife this, is ready to view whatever he wants on the internet when he can circumvent me.

The libertarian equivalent is the model we are currently running and it hasn't worked. It's psychologically addictive, harmful and has parallels with smoking in a way. If the evidence for its harm was less robust.

Do you think simply labelling it as bad is sufficient? Parents have no idea.
