Government controlled access to internet is a disgrace in any form. I can control my child without the government.

  > I can control my child Lies every parents tell themselves. Either they will watch porn at age 11 at school or at a friend, or you isolate them from society and they resent you forever. You can't control every aspect of your child's real life or online activities, that's naive and I don't believe you actually have children, let alone teenagers.

    Whether GP can control their kids or not it's besides the point, which I think lies with: > Government controlled access to internet is a disgrace in any form. And in fact it's not a "disgrace", it's outright dangerous, a ready half-step to totalitarian control. Regardless whether one trusts their current government or not, it is a threat to democracy and freedom that can be activated by any later regime.

    You shouldn't want to control every aspect of a child's life. You control what you can and should control, and the kid is aware of that, and you let them decide the rest. They will do things you don't want them to do, and that's fine. That's part of growing up. What you don't want is to say "I can't control every part of my kid's life, so I need to government to come in and control the remainder."

    Indeed, but I don't find that amount of control reasonable. I can do enough control to be completely fine.
