Maybe lazy parents should stop expecting the iPad/internet to do the parenting?

Parent here, its the easiest shit in the world. Takes maybe five minutes to setup parental controls on any service. Its also very easy to login to your router and block URLs. If you can't keep up with 1 machine by just typing website into it you are part of the problem. The other part is massive corporations wanting to avoid responsibility for their products and platforms.

We literally have the infrastructure to do so. Have you heard of internet filters on home routers? Parental controls? On some, it's literally a checkbox, and is advertised on the box as an option.

What exactly is the "infrastructural help" you're proposing?

Sure, if we are going to make sacrifices for parents then they can make sacrifices for us. How about no kids at bars or breweries, and I am allowed to hit your kids if they get within arms reach of me?

If you cannot administrate your Network to be Kid friendly, your Kids shouldnt have a device capable of browsing the Internet.

If you cant manage it, deny access all together.

Just because you are too lazy to play with your children and Just park them in Front of a Screen, society shouldnt suffer.

I actually semi agree with this post.

But parents also need to make an effort.

I got all 3 of my nieces a tablet over the years for bdays. I set them up. Turned on parental controls before I gave it to them. It was pretty easy.

There are so goddamn many ways to do this without infringing on people's privacy, but, you know, that's not what they want.

Requiring an ID to go to a private company that WILL get a databreach is the laziest, most reckless form of this.

People talking about parental controls as if that magically stops the new ways kids get bullied
