Watching over your kids is 'surveillance' now? Look, I get not invading the privacy of your 14 year old, but monitoring or restricting what children can see online at 8-9 sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
Children shouldn't have unrestricted internet access until at least 13 years old.
- galleywest200 4y ago13 seems like an arbitrary number. Why not 16? Or 12? 18, 21?
- matt-attack 4y agoBecause it’s entirely common to use articulate cutoffs. It’s considered a felony to have sex with a 17 year old boy on his eve preceding his birthday but it’s A-ok the next morning. Same goes for getting drafted, owning guns, aborting fetuses, and driving cars. A think is wrong one night and because fine the next morning. It’s kind of like the Ship of Theseus.
- matt-attack 4y agoWow unrestricted internet access at 13? I guess I’m an overprotective parent now because I would try to avoid it long after that. Not that I use the MPAA as any sort of authority on parenting but rated R movies are typically prohibited by unaccompanied kids under 18. The internet is way worse than any rated r movie. It’s rated XXX to use the MPAA’s metric.
- jmprspret 4y agoNo I agree it should be older than 13. I mean at an absolute floor minimum.
