> iOS built-in adult content filter blocks all searches with the keyword "Asian,” assuming it's porn-related. Which means a 12 y/o Chinese-American girl might Google "Asian hairstyles" and find out that her culture is blocked as "adult content."

If you really need to monitor/block your child's online behavior (and cannot handle it with a good talk/trust/etc.), give https://nextdns.io/ https://nextdns.io/ a try: * Set up a profile on their site, for example with blocking of porn and enforcing of safe search * Install the app on their iPhone and link to the config * Set a passcode on the app
