This strongly depends on the age of the child, and their maturity. I have an eight year old, who currently doesn’t even have a phone. Once he does I will absolutely be whitelisting contacts, approving app installs, and turning on functionality to limit access to content unsuitable for a child. That’s not to say I won’t also be talking about the world, and things they’re likely to encounter. Those conversations are happening even now, he’s not being raised in a petri dish, but equally I’d quite like to avoid throwing him directly into a vat of toxic waste unprepared if I can avoid that. Ultimate children are just that, children, they’re not renowned for solid decision making skills.
