Your claim that parents have clicked yes to authorize all the kids accounts and activities is a total joke.
When you say "parental rights" - the issue is that parents DON'T have admin rights to their kids social media stuff.
Most of these companies do some kind of checkbox the 13 year old checks that confirms that if they are under 13 their parents have approved. The idea this is "parental rights" has to be a sick sick joke.
NONE of these companies send anyone anywhere to actually check that the parents OK'ed going on omegle etc.
Tweak the law so that the companies have to actually verify parental approval. Ie, something in person with parent and the kid. And that parents then are the admins on the account and get both see all activity and also control minutes / week of activity on the platform.

Instead of requesting Apple/Google/Microsoft to help parents see their kid's browsing history from the get-go, we seem to be working towards internet based controls that will also impact the privacy and freedom of adults.
- ryandvm 3y agoWhy do we prohibit children from buying booze and guns? Isn't it incumbent upon the parents to prevent them from accessing those things?
- whatshisface 3y agoTeenagers are too independent for parental control over their shopping trips to be a possibility, but here we're talking about 13 years and younger.
