The fact you are immediately downvoted for this even handed comment which speaks from personal experience, while worthless "DAE 1984" comments are not, proves how close minded most HN commenters are on this issue.

- benatkin 3y agoI can't tell if the personal experience is relevant, irrelevant, or a conflict of interest. The parental control companies profited from a sense of security was often false, for which it watered down the experience of using the web in its early days. Back in the 90s if I were subjected to buggy parental control software I couldn't have learned as much as I did. Maybe parental control software was worse back then than it is now, because it took away the experience only afforded to my generation of growing up during the birth of the Web.
