Kids are smart. Horny teenagers even more so. They will find loopholes or ways to circumvent these kind of things - speaking from experience. At age 13 I installed a keylogger on my PC to get the password for a parental control software my parents installed. Roughly one year later I also exploited a vulnerability in iOS 4 that allowed me to see the parental controls password in plaintext so I could re-enable Safari.
Mr.hacker man? Lol Yeah adding restrictions is like the alchol prohibition in the US. Restricing it is going to make it more prevlent and easily acessible. There may be more sites that pop up that boot leg it. Kinda like schools with cool math games being blocked so you have unblocked games websites.
Yeah, but the implication here is that the phone is capable of rotating, unlike a tv. I get it though, if they don’t want to watch a landscape video in portrait.
I don’t really use my TV, but spend a lot of time watching TV lying down. I turn my phone so it’s facing the right way for me to see, though I get it would be a lot harder to get the cat to hold it upright.
Yeah but it didn’t the rest of the day because being rested and not being woken up from an alarm is better than the alternative. 1 minute before is perfect. It’s the 30 minutes that kills me
But I also feel that any random kid shouldn’t be able to just go to these sites and see porn freely.
At some point, you have to ask - why?
If that’s the alternative to spying on everyone, I’m still opposed to spying on everyone. Unsupervised internet access leading kids to pornography certainly would not be new. It’s not the end of the world.
Just throw your warnings and have a click-through. It’ll be just as effective, much cheaper, and not leave bastard politicians salivating about their social control fetish.
We have 3rd party verification services already, just use those. 🤷 They’re pretty good at verifying I’m a vet, I’m sure they can confirm that you definitely exist.
I agree with you, gimme back my checkbox, but it’d be better than “give the porn site your ID.”
Raise thoughtful, moral children. They are going to see porn in our modern society. How they process it has to do a lot with the tools they have to do that. That’s the parents job. Not to pretend a 100% prohibition or firewall can be erected, but to raise resilient children who can thrive and not become irreparably damaged by the things they are exposed to in the world they grow into.
Recognition that they will come into contact with it also does not mean you have to endorse it or present them with it. It’s not a binary thing. Choose how you want to parent and observe the results of different approaches. YMMV.
I love 2.5 hours before it goes off. I tend to wake up dead to the world be it 5:30am or 7am. At least at 5:30 I can indulge my want to go back to sleep…
