    Slowly and slowly, it feels like parents are having less and less responsibility—and therefore control—over their children’s lives. Information is not a problem—if there’s something the parent doesn’t want the kid to see it up to them to enforce that, not the government.

      Its cause a lot of parents don’t want responsibility.

      They want teachers and tablets and cellphones to raise the kids, not themselves.

      We should be cracking down on shitty parents, not passing censorship laws that will be grossly misused by the obvious actors.

      Is a parent shitty if, for example, their kids see stuff on the device another kid brought to school and shows around? Or when they visit a friend and their older sibling shows the kids something?

      You all sound like 20 year olds with little life experience who believe you know how parenting works, when in actuality you have 0 idea about it.
