I love that society has reached “I dislike you because you are teaching children to do dangerous things” is “elitist” point in its development. Civ didn’t prep

  Wanting to keep information vaulted away from the public and only available to the "right" people is elitist.

    the “wrong” people in this case are children, and the information is likely to cause injury…

      That's a parental supervision problem, not a reason to censor information on youtube.

        I'm trying to assess your experience. Can you please let me know: How many kids do you have? Their ages? What activities they do? Your level of participation?

          In a very detached way of view kids are a renewable resource. Let Darwin do his thing.

        The problem with parental supervision is that everyone tells you you're either doing too much or too little. No one is ever doing the right amount. In general no one can fully monitor what their kids are doing online, and the tooling is woefully behind because it's antithetical to companies measuring engagement as success.

    there is a difference between 'keeping information from the public' and 'being concerned that partial information is being presented'. Free Solo is one of my favorite movies of the last decade. In the movie, they are fundamentally and consistently transparent about the sheer danger involved. It probably seems obvious to everyone, but there is danger. If the movie was just artistic shots of Alex Honnold climbing rock without a rope, that were shot in a way that 'simplified' the narrative to the climbing instead of the danger I would have a problem with that. no one called for keeping information from anyone, they expressed concern that the method of communicating left out critical details that could injure children in a way they do not understand. You can point and laugh at me for doing the 'think about the children' thing but honestly you see children do stuff like this fairly often, because they are children. Your same logic could be used to say we should let children vote, drive cars, own guns, etc. Screw the game operation or doctor with friends, lets give them real scalpels!
