The kids are now high-school or later and have no general restrictions.
For many years, the rule was simply that the computers were in the living room.
For about a decade, all accounts and passwords were setup by parents. When a kid could successfully keep a password secret from a parent's social engineering attack, they were allowed to maintain those accounts themselves.
Discussion at meals and during homework frequently visited topics like "the school is tracking and censoring your use of their network", "seventy million email addresses and passwords leaked, thanks for letting us know", and "this is why XKCD is funny".
