That’s not true. Every TV app has a parent setting. That’s really easy to use browser support profiles just like TV apps do bad. UX doesn’t mean that it can’t be set up easily for parents. Windows itself could have profiles for kids that has all this set automatically. It’s not hard. There’s just no will to do it.

Spoken like someone who has never used parental controls. They’re a shitshow.

You miss my point. It is that parents dont care. However good the parental controls are, there are millions of parents who just dont and wont ever care.

You replied to a comment saying the companies don’t care to make it easy. Then, you shifted the blame to parents instead of the companies. I got your point just fine.
