Projecting all your own personal shit onto the children of the future is no way to deal with your own shit. You feel that you needed to be protected from the bad old world by you parents. Who you now wish had more control over you. You bad bad boy! Children, believe or or not, are very good at discerning what is right and wrong. No longer believing in god is a good thing. Santa claus is and always has been a lie. What is wrong with Atheism? I'm an athiest. It seems like you want to take away choice from children. Children are monitored far too much these days and you want to make it worse so you can make a few quid Get some therapy before you start taking it out on the kids. Muppet!

Even if what you say is true, why would you take that risk? Would you feel this way if you child became sucked into far-right content, or if they tried to change gender and later attempted suicide? r/atheism is just a personal anecdote, as the future of the product will be infinity granular filters using LLM's. It's not that I'm personally opposed to atheism, it's that I became one before I stopped believing in Santa as a result of online communities. Every day, children who have no idea what they're talking about decide they're a Nazi or Socialist because they saw a meme online, and it's neither healthy for the child or good for our society to have this. The central premise, that many online communities aren't suitable for kids stands true, and I'm sure there are topics which you would be highly opposed to your six year old child viewing and incorporating into their personality if you thought about it.

  Funnily enough, nazism or far-right content isn't something you filter...

    I mean we’ve only recently launched to early access, we don’t filter most things yet, including far-left or socialist content. One of the big features I’m working on now though is self-descriptive filters, so a patent can input exactly what kind of stuff they do and don’t want, without us getting in the way, and an LLM will choose which posts are and aren’t filtered out. It’ll hopefully resolve this sort of discrepancy between what we want to filter out and what parents actually want filtered out.

  There are parents who believe they are guardians of children until they become adult humans themselves, and are to provide a safe and nurturing environment for said small humans to become their own people, and parents who believe they own their children and are entitled to mold them into an ideal they believe. It is likely your service caters to the latter, versus the former, and while I don't think you're going to be very successful (it’s a niche product that isn’t very sticky), I do think your service is going to cause harm versus protect children from content that would cause them harm. By the time that harm has been done, you'll be long gone, having moved on to something else. I appreciate your post because it demonstrates why there is a potential need for more robust safety systems (policy, people, technology) against certain parental cohorts. For sure, there is substantial harm to be found in online content and it’s a very hard job overseeing access children might have to the greater Internet. But also, similar harm potentially within the home (depending on the home). This is a technical attempt at solving for a people problem.

That doesn't seem healthy for the children or society either, especially if they can no longer look at opposing viewpoints because of evil 'products' like this.
