Rather than hindering or censoring entire platforms because “kids might see something undesirable” (which common sense shows they’ll get around to find no matter what anyways), I think the kids and parents should have and maintain their own monitored or restricted internet somewhere else.
Instead, the majority of platforms get controlled and sanitized in the name of children while the issue is framed as an impossible problem to solve. It isn’t. Put your kids on the sanitized internet and let me have my swears or risqué topics please.
Besides, none of this ever ends up being about kids anyways. It’s all about control and data collection.
I completely disagree with this line of thinking.
