    Parental controls are an excellent tool to teach kids how to bypass parental controls.

    I support this, so long as there’s no rules against kids learning how to bypass parental controls. It’s basically a CTF. All kids should learn how to mitigate internet censorship.

      “Would someone think of the children” gets used way to much to defend policies that harm children

      Surveillance and control around tech has become highly advanced which means that it isn’t trivial to bypass restrictions like to was before. Chromebooks get locked down heavily and everything students do is carefully watched and controlled. What’s worse is that kids who can afford a laptop will have a major advantage which will further increase inequality.
