You can't prevent home invasions altogether (someone can always bring a rocket launcher to blow your door off), so why bother locking your front door?

- JamesSwift 3y agoBut its not a near-guarantee that locking the door will be good enough. What percentage of homes do you think are broken into by force? What percentage of kids do you think will ultimately circumvent your restrictions? I think its a very high likelihood they will access the information using another avenue (at friends house, on a different device, etc). So you are back at square 1 in terms of actually preparing your kid for life.

You're calling it "information" as though what concerns parents is tantamount to eating from the tree of knowledge. You have to account for frequency, because this isn't a question of finding out some dark truths, it's concern that they would recreationally watch content that is not fit for kids, which may have negative impacts especially if consumed on a regular basis. How many hours did you spend trying to pirate pornography as a kid? Did that have a positive impact on your life? I can answer that readily for my part.
- JamesSwift 3y agoI dont mean to imply anything about what you are protecting them from, and I dont know what the OP's end goal even is. Merely pointing out how inevitable life is, so dont try and solve human nature with technology. Or at least dont think your technical solution has effectively solved human nature.
- slothtrop 3y agoGood thing this isn't about "solving human nature", nor (as far as I'm concerned) making sure a kid never sees a tit on screen.
