Or how about you legislate for parental controls on Smartphones.

You know, like how any desktop or laptop has them?

How are you going to enforce this law? Because parents will still buy their kids smartphones. Are you going to have the police arresting under 16s and confiscating their phones?

Apple has pretty robust parental controls on their devices.

Source: am technical enough to have set them up.

So does Android.

It's just a moral panic, as usual.

Politicians love moral panic.
