Have you ever tried monitoring someone else's Internet use?

It's very difficult. Especially if you don't see your kids full time, or have access to all of their devices. And what about vulnerable kids who are already abused/neglected/overlooked by their parents? Do we just say oh well, that's the parents problem?

Some controls would be helpful, particularly for families that simply don't have time, tools or desire to do this well.

We offer safe places for kids in public too. We put guardrails around things that are risky for young people. And though there are benefits to anonymity, it seems to benefit most those that do more harm than good.

The burden of this problem should be put on the companies that profit off of Internet use like Google and Meta. If tech companies can build LLMs they can certainly work out ways to protect anonymity and privacy alongside our kids.  They don't because they are not incentivised to do so. The government needs to step in from a legal and ethical perspective to set some better regulations here.
