It would be nice if governments would heed the maxim 'don't interfere in what you don't understand'. But it's too easy to propose non solutions to non problems

It would be nice if governments would heed the maxim 'don't interfere in what you don't understand'.
But it's too easy to propose non solutions to non problems, or where there are problems blame the wrong people and do nothing to address the actual source of the problem.
Maybe. Just maybe, leaving your children dumped at computer screens is a bad idea. Also raising them without any social defences, yes, perhaps that's part of the problem?
Predators and morally harmful content exist everywhere, and there is plenty of both in the government might I add. So using force to ruin the Internet for everyone in the UK and introducing more time wasting paperwork will just make the world worse.
Meanwhile, the kids who were vulnerable to online exploitation will fall to predators elsewhere or languish in generally miserable lives anyway.
The government can't make up for your parental failings. We should stop letting it think it can.
