It's great how the entire Internet has to have child locks on it now because we can't just legally mandate that giving your kid a smartphone is child abuse.

That's why I'm advocating for it.

Why not, we did it with cigarettes and alcohol and they had some of the nastiest lobbies working non-stop against any sort of regulation

@Hoss @grey the evidence that causes harm is genuinely garbage and entirely carried by teen age girls trying to kill eachother through instagram

@gav @Hoss @grey We should simply ban women from the internet and then all men, both boys and old drunkards can peacefully and healthily coexist on the net calling each other slurs.

I remember someone saying that if the 1982 Tylenol Murders happened today, there would be a ridiculous chain of custody system, they'd all be under constant 24hr surveillance, and we'd be told to go fuck ourselves if we mentioned how wasteful all that was.
We don't do solutions like "cover it up with an obvious seal anymore. That doesn't make enough make work jobs.

Oh they 100% could fix the problem of kids on the internet in 100s of better ways, but that assumes that the problem is what they're trying to fix. It wouldn't give the lizard people an excuse to erode your freedoms and dominate your life even more, right? How else are they going to ban VPNs from the global market?

Tamper-evident seals pretty much solved the vulnerability exploited by the Tylenol poisoner. Japan had a similar serial poisoner streak with vending machine drinks who was never caught.

Same ol' story. We've been doing this dance for decades at this point.

I think every device from phone, tablet to computer all have parental controls. Parents too lazy just to set them up.
Phones and tablets are nothing but babysitters anymore, so you don't actually have to talk to your child while shopping.

If only people had the reasonable and mild idea of not allowing children on the internet. I'm amazed it flies over the heads of so many
