It is not this developer's job to parent someone's kids. It is a parent's responsibility to make sure their child only gets access to the appropriate websites when they are young.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoCounterpoint: it takes a village. You're naive if you think parents have and can keep full oversight / control over their offspring's internet usage. You can have their devices and your at home internet locked tight, but then they go to a library, they go to a friend's place, they go to school where they get a laptop or tablet and school internet access, or a friend's hotspot. You can't protect your kids from the internet, you can only warn and educate them. I'm not saying to give them unlimited access from the get go, of course not. But I'm just saying you can't stop them either.
- balls187 3y agoExactly! Look, RJ Reynolds was perfectly within their rights to market cigarettes to young children, and shops were within their rights to sell to young children. It’s not their job to parent children. And if I want to open up a strip club across the street from the neighborhood public school, why should I be prevented by zoning laws? It’s not my responsibility to parent someone else's kids.
- akoboldfrying 3y agoSo before clicking on a word game in their browser, all parents should know about the business relationship, or lack thereof, between the underlying content provider and the website running in the top-level browser frame? I want to emphasise, again, that we're talking about clicking on a word game here.
