Isn't it underestimating them even more to think they can't install a VPN in two clicks (which is the only thing needed to bypass this law). Also I don't know

Isn't it underestimating them even more to think they can't install a VPN in two clicks (which is the only thing needed to bypass this law).
Also I don't know from where you assume that an "average teen" can easily crack a manufacturer-imposed lock.
Who is the "average teen" that can take an IPhone and bypass FaceID or the Pin Lockscreen ? Which average teen can bypass a password protected secure-boot UEFI bootloader ? Which average teen finds an exploit to unlock a phone bootloader without the manufacturer key ?
If the a law would force the manufacturer to take it seriously, they could make the parental control far harder to bypass than this ridiculous and privacy invasive law
- boppo1 4y agoWhen I was 14 I used some parts from radioshack, "JTAG", and some of my mom's larger sewing needles to get my xbox 360 to play videogame content I downloaded off the internet and burned to discs. I hardly understood how, I just followed some instructions carefully. You only need one cracker. Friend-groups usually have someone patient enough to follow "tech recipes". - ingredients/parts - sequential process - result
- jacquesm 4y agoI have an 11 year old here that sometimes really amazes me with his knowledge and persistence and I have zero doubt that if he was motivated to bypass something like this he'd get there, eventually. Never underestimate the reserves of persistence in a teenager that is determined to get their hands on something. I wished I had that kind of focus.
- oucho 4y agoYou don't bypass an iPhone lockscreen with your mum's sewing needle. If Apple cares enough about locking something, no average person bypasses it easily
