Keep computers in common areas (kitchen or living room) and delay smartphones. We shouldn't trade everyone's privacy for a problem that can be solved with parenting, love, explaining dangers to kids and stricter corporate accountability.

@nixCraft Make the creators of content broadcast a flag of mature content. The OS can be configured to read the flag and not load mature content if the adult has turned on content filtering. Problem solved without making private information vulnerable to hackers or corrupt governments.

@nixCraft Could also, y'know, hold the people actually harming children (like facbook with their predatory & manipulative algorithmic feeds) accountable, instead of attacking privacy.

We are doing what my parents did (most likely by happenstance):
Internet-connected family desktop in common room, one account.Any other computers (laptops) not internet connected, curated software.
Phones, not until highschool.

ZERO OF THIS IS ABOUT PROTECTING CHILDREN.
Stop wasting energy arguing about the details, this is what they want.ALL OF THIS IS ABOUT STATE SURVEILLANCE.
Powerful people are pissed off that anyone can be anonymous on the internet, and they would like to stop that, so you can be punished for saying things like #EatTheRich and #FuckBillionaires -

It *is* hard going against the grain. Well worth it, but to constantly be the only parent making your kids wait until 13 for their first mobile phone, you have to put up with a lot of bullshit from every other parent.

The naive belief that your rules in your house apply anywhere else. My first porn not age appropriate was at my aunts house, it was mixed with age appropriate VHS tapes and we kids were sent to the TV room to give the grown-ups space to talk.

@nixCraft It's never about protecting kids. That's just the excuse they use to manipulate voters and the public.

But eliminating privacy is the whole point. The Epstein Class has no interest in protecting children. They’re only about protecting themselves and extending their control.

Kids also deserve privacy when using the family computer. I don't believe that computers in common areas solve this.
But parenting, love and explaining will. -

@nixCraft be a good parent & everything will be fine. Keep your children away from phone or computer (specially phone) until they are not 18+.

@nixCraft I think you are missing the fact that putting a smartphone in each child's hand generates revenue for someone and substituting that with affection and care for the children will put the last nail in the coffin of the economy, which legislators would want you to believe is not collapsing. Welcome to the dystopia.

@nixCraft what if we (and I know this sounds wild) let people work from home; they could do this thing where they have more time to be present with and teach their kids! We could go even further and make *gasp* small walkable communities so kids and parents spend less time commuting and more time community-ing. Rather than constantly slapping security band aids on
