    But they’ll likely be older, and learn to be more tech savvy to get around the block.

    The school my kid attens provide Chromebooks, with a tight control of course.

    That’s why 11y old had to learn from one of their classmates how to bypass the control. Thanks to tech protection they were safe from accidentally finding porn (did that ever happen to anyone in real life??) for at least one week.

    The only part I mentioned was child development, which research has shown to have a negative impact (just like we did with cigarettes and alcohol).

    We all agree. Yet I don’t understand why you so much want to defend a mechanism that is already failing its stated purpose. In case you missed it: it is a miserable total failure. It just increased VPN usage. That, and the massive data collection. Period. Nothing else achieved.

    So now I guess it’s going to be ok to control VPN.

    That’s going to fail, by the way. Then I guess you must ban Tor at ISP level. Completely block it, for the sake of the children.

    Then, then, then…

    Then children are still exposed to porn, but we’re working on it! Meanwhile, would you come to the station explain why you visited that website and posted that nasty anonymous comment about the PM last wednesday night?
