Maybe so but it doesn’t mean we should make it easier for them. Doing nothing and giving them free access is sick and rife for addiction.
Some options could be compulsory digital IDs linked to all Internet users names, make VPNs illegal for personal use and fines for their parents

I’m sure the parents pushing all this shit know it’s unworkable and just want the government to take responsibility for it so they don’t have to.
It doesn’t matter how strict access is in your own home if the child(ren) eventually have to interface with people outside of it and any amount of overcoddling is almost certain to backfire. I think maybe the only sensible course of action is expecting it and having a candid discussion about it.

Of course they will.
Same thing happens with drugs, cigs, alcohol.
Does anyone think it’s good idea to remove age restriction on alcohol because there are a few kids who know the guy in the offy. No.
The purpose is harm reduction, not elimination. Elimination is very difficult.
Also, has anyone seen the tech skills of these teens, unless it’s in a flashy UX, they aren’t finding anything.

Just have a conversation with your children.
If you provide answers, they won’t go online to look for them.

I think the issue is rather than confront the issue directly we’re skirting around it and trying to implement useless safeguards against it. Like why not spend time teaching your child the advantages of mobile devices and what they can be used for?
I mean the tech illiteracy of the general populace is inexcusable, there definitely should be classes around using devices responsibly and so on rather than treating phones like some scourge. The real scourge is the corporations peddling the social media drugs

Considering the recent hacks and theft of customer data from M&S and Coop there’s no way in hell I’m signing up for some online digital ID to view adult content. Fuck that. VPN all the way.
