   @erincandescent None of the above.

   My position is not that there is nothing harmful on the internet, but that for both fundamental reasons and reasons of political capture by people who wish harm to any children who are not straight cis neurotypical, any attempt to gate access to information will both block critically important non-harmful things and fail to block the most harmful things.

   I could go into my views on how parents should deal with these truths, but I don't believe that "how else are we supposed to PrOtEcT tHe ChIlDrEn??????" is relevant.

   Protecting children is not on the table here.

   Doing harm to children and harm to people who need to be anonymous are what's on the table.
