Thanks for your thoughtful response! I agree with you regarding the issues related to kids being on the internet. However, there’s two sides of that coin, as well. I’m thinking about for example people like me who were born disabled. When I was a kid, internet gave me the freedom and exploration I couldn’t have in the physical world. I could also express myself more freely when I wasn’t bound by my limited ability to talk and write (with a pen).
It’s easy to only look at the harmful effects on kids, such as unattainable body ideals on social media, or hate speech flourishing on Twitter and elsewhere. I think a lot of people disregard the beneficial effects the internet has had on people. The ability to find a community of like-minded people, for example. My disability is extremely rare, and I’ve only found others like me thanks to internet.
With that said, I think most people can agree on that young kids shouldn’t have access to NSFW content. But as you say, that’s mostly the responsibility of parents to decide on how to raise their kids.
