You touch on an interesting element. A lot of iPhone users are kids. Even young kids. Logged in with their parents account.
Not trying to justify what’s going on. Just add context
- TheHappyOddish 3y agoAnd this is the parents responsibility to not share passwords and ensure device usage is appropriate. A lot of kitchen users are kids, it's the parents responsibility to ensure they're supervised or that the sharp knives are put away out of reach.
- ben_w 3y agoMmm. Given the internet as it is, and as it has been even back when FOSS discussions included hating GIF because of patent enforcement, kids shouldn't be on the (general) internet at all. Smartphones are even worse, given the deliberate attempts to make content more addictive. I'm not sure how to square that particular circle with the likelihood of social exclusion from not being online — it's not like me putting (general) in brackets in the first paragraph will convince the right people that there's money to be made in a genuinely safe subset, despite the existence of YouTube Kids and whatever Netflix' thing is called.
