@AlisonW@fedimon.uk @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk @CenturyAvocado@fosstodon.org @revk@toot.me.uk @bloor@bloor.tw 'Parental controls' would be a lot more useful if they were for stopping your parents downloading malware or regurgitating misinformation on Facebook, rather than preventing children from accessing anything sex-related.

  @kim @neil @revk @bloor @AlisonW @CenturyAvocado Which is effectively why they should be called firewalls.
  Because preventing things like malware and other kind of unwarranted traffic is what they are built for, and the vast majority of people have effectively none.

  @bloor @AlisonW @kim @CenturyAvocado @neil @revk I would regard it as such because "parental control"/"anti-malware"/"ad blocking" is a very specific setting among others for the exact same kind of technology.
  And technology which really ought to be available and usable for everyone, not only people advanced enough to configure their own router/OS/browser/…

  @lanodan @AlisonW @kim @CenturyAvocado @neil @revk sorry but I don’t regard content filtering as a firewall. I would make a fairly crowbar separation there.
