Holy shit. How glad am I that no one restricted me in such way in childhood. Parents of that child are horrible (imho)
My mum had no idea how computers worked, so I had no chance of being blocked. Definitely a good thing.
I had this as a kid. It became a game between me and my parents of them trying to block things and me getting around it. Unfortunately I would bet the tech is more solid now

Why would people willingly install potential Russian spyware?
Edit: I think some people misunderstood. I wasn't talking about the parental surveillance, I was talking about potential use of the antivirus by the FSB for even more nefarious purposes. Although I do think helicopter parents are weird and cringe.
People are fucking weird — cameras in bedrooms and across the house for kids/teenagers that aren’t babies, using tracking apps like Life360 to watch every minute of their teenager’s life, as if they weren’t unsurveilled teens doing their own mischevious shit, tapping into their search history, looking through their private conversations with friends, and probably a million more things.
Being a kid under a helicopter parent in this technological era must fucking suck.
And the worst part ist that those parents had a childhood free of any intrusions of their own privacy. If they had been under surveillance in the same fashion they do it to their kids, one could argue that they don't know any better. In my opinion, marketing and fear mongering play an important role here.
I am so gratful that I (early millennial) have been born and raised at a time where this tracking and surveillance bullshit wasn't around at all. I estimate my parents would have had a blast when these things were readily availiable.
I have no idea what you’re talking about, this product is made by a friendly ghost that lives in the clouds.
I give my information to all countries freely. Why should my own government have the monopoly on my porn browsing habits?
On a more serious note, if the parent banned sexual content, would 'crabs', in terms of the STD, trip that wire? If so, that’s kinda fckd up, lol
They're going to get us somehow from some evolutionary path. Might as well teach them to read and hope they learn human empathy.
Yeah we don't exactly have a great track record on that. Maybe we shouldn't be the ones teaching about it.
