And what's wrong with that. The current internet feels like a playground where we are forced to fall in order to the wall garden owner.

When you use the internet you should have the sense that the domain your going to access requires yourself to need to apply self caution.

Letting a 11 year old online without supervision is just lazy neglected parenting.

Microsoft and Apple enable groomers. they are platforms where abuse images are shown (despite telemetry being able to detect and stop it), they could easily detect someone using their OS to groom a minor but yet their hands are clean? come on.

Parents allowing children to have limitless, unmonitored access to the internet is more to blame than any given platform.
