Have you not discovered piehole or child controls? My kids stuff is completely locked down it was not hard. I don't need the state to be involved.

Those are far from easy do handle for majority of parents.

Banks keeps sending me warnings about some new ‘Nigerian prince’ level scams. They wouldn’t be doing it if grownups weren’t falling for them.

General population doesn’t want to setup piholes.

You don’t need a pihole. iOS and android both have parental controls that are very simple to use.

I'd be astonished if 14 and 15 year olds don't know workarounds for iOS and android child controls.

Its harder than you think and no "state" ban will work if the 14-15 year old is smart enough to get around the child locks at the os level either. Next they will ban VPN just wait for it.

Locked down to what though? Bike rides and tag? I TRY to limit my child to 30 mins a day, but when she’s older there is gonna be peers that I will battling against.

Also my 14yo self was far more skilled at circumventing online guardrails (mostly piracy back then) than my old ass is today. I’m not winning that battle of cat and mouse.
