Yes and no. I have a 10 and 13 year-old boys and there are two things we do to limit what they can do on the internet. First, we only allow a certain amount of screen time. We're somewhat flexible with that but when I see that my oldest has been playing Doom for 45 minutes, I'll tell him that's been long enough.
The other thing we enforce is that the computer can't go into their bedrooms. They can use the desk in the kitchen, sit on the sofa in the living room or spread out on the floor, but while we don't monitor what they are doing, whatever they are doing is somewhat public.
This seems to be a good mix for us now. The kids are comfortable on the computer and we're comfortable with what they are using it for.
