People keep saying it’s the parents responsibility to keep their kids safe, and don’t give them the tools! This is such an obvious one. I should be able to lock down a laptop for a child, and then have the browser limit websites to those that are actually child safe. I don’t care if a government agency is the one issuing “child safety certs”. This gets around the whole “identify everyone no matter what” thing, and it means that parents don’t have to run an entire IT department level of security infrastructure to keep their kids safe online.

There's a reason why nobody is giving the parents those tools.

And it's the same reason why everybody keeps pushing the stupidier, most obnoxious and invasive tools to "protect the children".

my kids are not teenagers yet, what am I missing? the iPad I let them use has child safety enabled and it seems to do exactly what the comment above you is suggesting.

Apple does parental controls right. The easy path is parental controls.

Companies like epic and Microsoft dont. The easy path is just a default install

I suspect this is by design.
