TV has plenty of material that is absolutely unsuitable "compared to the their degree of development and self-awareness."
The only protection they have is that they those materials are usually (but not always) available in certain hours and there is a nice warning before that says that the content is not appropriate for them.
- harry8 4y agoTV news hyping death and violence comes on at child-friendly times. My 8 y.o. was watching sport and an advert for a serial killer movie came on replete with horror scenes and knife murder. Warning? You're kidding. Chat GPT I can manage the same way I can manage search engine and video site use.
- tfourb 4y agoA TV can usually be controlled quite effectively by a parent (if they choose to do so). Access to the internet can not be controlled in the same way. Taking it away completely is often not desirable, fine tuning access is not feasible even for tech-literate parents. Hence a greater responsibility to confirm the age of the consumer should fall on the party making the content in question available. This is basically the same reasoning why it is legal for parents to buy cigarettes and store them at home, but shop owners can be held liable if they do not check the age of people that they sell cigarettes to.
