I figure at the age you have the talk with them you also need to bring up the topic.
Unless you’re extremely good at controlling your kids access and making them avoid friends whose parents do not, there’s a good chance they’ve already seen it. My wife’s a high school teacher and when a report came out about the average kid having been exposed to porn by 8 they all agreed.
If you’re talking that young then no, but I’m also limiting them to only things like PBS kids and non-violent movies at that age. However, if they’re old enough that you’re ok with them watching people shoot and kill each other for your entertainment then they’re old enough to have that discussion.
Yeah that’s a nice idea but so is parents being able to provide food and shelter for their children. However, most counties in the world have social services because we recognize what should happen and what actually happens don’t always overlap and we don’t want to starve kids for their parents failings.
Once you accept some parents either won’t or in many cases can’t, the question is what you value more: the kids in those situations or the companies profiting off the parents failures.
Plus YouTube is an easy example. There are thousands of other websites that have much worse. Making the websites themselves responsible for flagging the domain puts the onus on those most likely to have the technical know how rather than those more likely to be ignorant.
Adding to my list of things to teach them:
Don’t open strange links someone posts as a reply
The hell are you talking about? Yes there are blocklists for adult domains, but that doesn’t actually block adult content since it leaves stuff like YouTube open. If you think there isn’t full on sex on there then you’ll be surprised.
The only thing that functions right now is whitelisting and it is super annoying since so many apps open a web container inside the app. All this id verification is nonsense, but providing an actually filtered internet is still nigh impossible for parents who aren’t tech savvy.
Give it a try now. I held off for 9 years because of the bad release before a friend convinced me to try it. Immediately sunk all my playtime into it for 2 months.
Now they’ve got the Pokémon thing and I’ve got another reason to explore worlds again.
I think you’re seriously overestimating many of the people hired and told to produce code.
