Yes! It can make sure categories can't be harmful things or things banned by law(e.g.: "whites only website") but moreover, they regulate the security, accuracy and content coverage standards for such applications. They don't however get to categorize sites themselves.
> No one is saying that parents shouldn’t be allowed to let innocent little Johny see two men holding hands because they are afraid it might turn him gay. The issue is giving government that power.
The government doesn't get that power, it uses existing powers to regulate contentu filtering apps and educate parents to use them, parents get to have that power, as they should!
- scarface_74 3y agoAre you saying that the FTC should do that, could do that or is doing that? And different people have different ideas of what is “harmful”. Who gets to decide?
- _8j50 3y agoShould for the first (alternative to the law in question). Parents get to decide what is harmful.
