It is way past time for parents and educators to take a stand. You have the power to shut off the sewage pipe bursting in the middle of your living room. NO internet access under 18. Whitelist every single page your kids has access to. Playing whackamole is physically impossible. This social media vs that social media. This hyperaddictive videogame vs. that hyperaddictive videogame, and 1000 more waiting in the wings. Various shades of (soft) porn, including some very mainstream: hello ad industry. Sales funnels for harmful chemicals, including some very mainstream: hello Ritalin. Instant validation for any quackery under the sun, and then some. Etc, etc, etc. Some will say: Wait, but there is clean, useful, value-dense content on the Internet. Aren't we throwing the baby with the bathwater? For an entire childhood, you can buy all of it for a few thousand $$$, in book or DVD format. Better, creators of value-dense content now have a way to sustain their lives. Not worth taking chances with "free" Internet.
