Not a whole lot to discuss here, I fully agree. This goes beyond children's safety and into general privacy(which the vast majority of people are totally clueless about, contrary to their beliefs): no amount of encryption can compensate for bad privacy habits. People tend to think that the bottomless pit that is the internet and the billions of users will keep them hidden, which couldn't be further from the truth. And speaking of the truth, all people are surprisingly unique in their own way and there is no such thing as "average". I've been fiddling with this idea for a while and I am putting it to the test in my spare time and so far the results are astonishing: it's far easier to doxx someone online as a consequence of a personal fact that they've publicly shared than some data leak by a private company or even a government institution. Leaks make matters worse, sure but the pile grows exponentially and not linearly(which seems to be what most assume): People get freaked out about their number being posted somewhere online while not realizing that by saying something along the lines of "I studied in London in the early 2010's, then in Edinburgh until 2015" and "I lived in Paris between 2017 and 2019" and someone wants to find their identity, they've willingly helped them narrow down the identity to a handful of people - likely in the very low double digits. Add one more random fact, such as "I have a Volvo xc 70" and you've basically put a pin on yourself on the map. Most people have probably never considered this. It may sound like a cliche but it's far more important to educate people as well as their children from a very early age about those things than to assume that outsourcing the problem to technical solutions would somehow solve it - it won't.
