>> A school system is very complex.

But does it need to be?

School private networks seem unnecessary, especially nowadays when most apps are cloud-based and don't require installation. Many modern routers support domain blacklists to prevent access to inappropriate content. What else is needed?

lol if you think a domain blacklist is an effective way to block inappropriate content.

The entire discussion is about how cloud apps are illegal for children because of GDPR

GDPR is dumb. All government regulations are dumb.

The only regulation that works is self-regulation. The way to ensure that companies self-regulate is by punishing them (directors and shareholders) harshly whenever they cause harm or damage.

Who is going to punish them if there are no regulations?

If a company causes harm, legal action can be taken against them.
