I’d rather protect the kids than have the internet the way I want.

Many kids have their own phones/devices long before high school, unsupervised internet access anytjme and many parents have no idea how to even set up parental controls or do the most basic things to protect them. Kids learn to lie about their age to sign up on social media platforms etc. Some parents think young kids have a right to privacy online. They’re very naive, the kids and parents.

I’ve known parents who don’t even have the password to their kid’s phone/device. They could be doing anything, and they are. Little kids make ‘jokes’ about selling feet pics (which is a grooming gateway). I’ve known a kid who had an older online ‘friend’ who sent them gifts to their home, though they’d never shared their address and even then no alarm bells went off. Its really mind boggling but its definitely not a good idea to trust parents to protect their kids online. I’m saying this as someone who had unsupervised internet access from the age of 11 - its not the same now.

I remember when signing up and using Facebook was too much for people, or even typing. My parents still won’t put in their card details online. People adapt.

Kids seeing sex isn’t so bad but kids seeing violent incest porn and whatever else? People have no idea what their kids are doing online and they’re watching it before they’re 10 years old.

I double dare you to close all. It’s the best legal rush.

This is my non - organisation system too… For everything which I don’t have to keep decently for some external purpose. Even though I also love to organise stuff ha.

I did manage to get everything onto a 2TB harddrive, so now I have decades of irregularly organised chaos (more or less, I lost some of it several times through not backing up) all in one place - yay!

Also, despite all intentions to the contrary, I’m doing exactly the same thing with my newer devices lol (that’s the hollow laughter of despair).

I bought a pixel second hand and did this, it’s easy to do even for a non techy person. You might say which country you’re in, I could give some ideas but I’m in england so they might not work for you.
