    This is exactly the right answer.

    Some parents can’t and won’t be arsed to take any responsibility for their kids at all, whether that’s parenting or teaching - it’s always the fault of the state. When the state acts, it’s an attack on the freedom of speech. It’s a hell of a situation and I don’t envy the governments choices in this matter.

    Parental controls as standard on, on a router would absolutely be the easiest, cheapest and most effective way but puritans somehow managed to keep this alive.

    Unfortunately, here is where we are and I wish that there was something we could do about it. Every single solution can and will be circumvented so it all seems like a colossal waste of money at this point.

    At least if they implemented a child filter, I would hope they ban ads on a large scale and put social media behind the wall completely. It would do the world a massive favour.
