> Right but granny is not a child, she is kind of the opposite of a child. The failure modes are often quite similar - cognitive/motor issues and lack of experience with the tools offered. > Appeal to the lowest common denominator and DO NOT offer back doors. Back doors accessible by scammers are bad for the same reasons back doors accessible by governments are. > This really is "no sale of knives" type stuff. That sounds ridiculous, right? Because it is, and we let Apple get away with murder. Apple's more like a shop that declines to sell knives. There are other shops that will sell you one. | ||

> The failure modes are often quite similar - cognitive/motor issues and lack of experience with the tools offered. Children are either not allowed to have devices, or they have them but locked down with parental controls (hopefully). Apple could easily have a separate mode for this. Maybe there's some overlap with lockdown mode where it can be bundled together. There is no reason to force it on everyone except to benefit Apple. | ||
