Children are the reponsability of parents. Enforcing parents control on device like it is in europe by exemple if far more useful than giving this responsibility to platform that have no financial interest of doing it. Also u can reasonably make internet education course the same way some do about drugs or sex.
Unfortunately, I think parents have by and large failed to parent this aspect of a child's life. Do we continue to trust parents when they are so clearly failing? I suppose education is the long term answer but I rather just remove the ability for kids to access such harmful content.
But gouvernement isnt in mesure to apply this in any way. It wouldnt make it better for anybody. Do we have to learn parrent to control their kids action ? i thought they know but you got a point that a lot dont.
