Its really not that hard to do you could literally find a youtuber to walk you through the whole process since it seems you could use some hand holding with tech.
But hey if you didn't want so many chores to do after working long hours maybe consider that before having a child. Not my fault parents didn't think it would be a lot of work.
I mean yeah that would be great if big tech could provide us with more protections and stop tracking everything we do but they aren't going to and governments take their bribes so they won't force them to. So parents are going to need to figure out how to protect their children and adapt to our online world. You can learn these skills and protect your children or not its up to you.
Your entire take is idiotic as best.
As a society we should strive for making life easier for everyone, but especially those who are having trouble with technology due to lack of time or resources.
The solution isn't to go online and start spouting off about "how you should've considered that you'll need to learn a dozen new technologies just to raise your kid", but to provide actually actionable, simplified enough solutions that people can utilise.
Your take is especially idiotic when you put it in perspective of ALL OUR FUCKING PRIVACY RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED because parents are already struggling to keep their kids safe. And you just shrug your shoulders and tell others to parent better? What kind of a fuckwit are you?
I'm just being realistic I said I would like for more protections from tech companies but that isn't the world we live in, but I guess you couldnt comprehend that.
I offered a solution so that parents could protect their children TODAY. That's why I provided an actual actionable solution a parent who is worried about their child could do to protect them now. You say you care about privacy rights well why don't you stop complaining and start protecting your family rather than wait for the tech companies or government to start caring about you?
Your options are to protect yourself and your family or complain online. I'm sorry it will require some work to do but hey like I said that is what you signed up for. Yes you will need to do better because we live in a fucked up world that doesn't make it easy on you. I wish it was different but its not. But go ahead get mad because I offered a way to solve these issues, rather than simply agreeing that there is nothing we can do.
Check the discussion you're on right now.
IT IS ABOUT FUCKING LEGISLATION THAT FORCES BIG TECH TO DO SOMETHING FOR "PROTECTING CHILDREN".
My solution is that since we're already legally forcing big tech to do something, then why not do it the right way and force them to give tools to parents to enable them to protect their kids, instead of this fucking dystopian operating system level privacy erasure.
And your solution is still to not give a fuck about the laws that are being introduced, AND not give a fuck about parents besides telling them to "protect their kids". You do see why your take is idiotic, right?
