If the prime minister is right and there's no time to waste, how much more of it can we spend just waiting for the teen social media ban to work?

i recently came across Google's 'family-link' and iphone's 'Screen time'. seems this would be more effective? these aim to lock your child's phone so that they cant install any new app without permission. feature also include only allowing the web-browsers on your child's phone (and phone-wide, i believe) to access websites that you approve of (using a 'white-listing' process).

It's truly worth it to protect young minds from the Internet these days, it's full of crazy (bad) things :-(.

I don't like phones for kids but travelling with my tween I wanted the security of her having one if we got seperated. First thing I did was lock down her apps and contacts. I am really pissed off that Albo, Wells and co took away her parent montored and curated Youtube account. Google is partly to blame by insisting on shit like shorts and algorithmic targeting which put them in the same category as other predatory services. But the govt chose the wrong approach because they listened to the wrong people and in the end I think they cared more about age verification than kid's health.

the other issue (with Albo's path) is that the under16s are smart enough to get around the age-verifications anyway.. like this one: https://cybersecuritynews.com/....
