These are not mistakes.

These are not implementation errors or miscommunication between different business units.

What you are witnessing is an intentional setting of a revenue dial to the maximum allowable setting that still permits the original sale.

I don't think the companies such as Google*, Microsoft, Valve or Nintendo** have a Child Safety business unit.

If they did, the software they produce would work and I would be able set some sane settings once when creating a group of users which contain children.

What I am experiencing is user hostility when trying to limit who can chat or influence my children. The UI is usually horrible and some devices have no way of limiting or whitelisting what games can be played by children.

* Fuck you for not requiring TVs to implement the features required to use child users on TVs.

** Fuck you for making the of doing anything on the switch related to child-profiles a horrible experience.

Well, the sale was to me. The kid came later. :-)

A console is a computer controlled by a corporation. No other result could be expected.
