Heh, thank you.

I appreciate GPs point about giving “parents strong monitoring and restriction tools and empower them to protect their children”. That’s good. That acknowledges that we can and should give parents tools to deal with their kids and not let them fend for themselves (one nuclear family all alone) against the various algorithms, child group pressure, and so on.

But on the whole I’m tired of the road to serfdom framing on anything that regulates corporations.

Yes. Let’s be idealistic for a minute; the Internet was “supposed to” liberate us. Now we have to play Defense every damn day. And the best we have to offer is a false choice between nanny state and tech baron vulturism?

For a second just imagine. An Internet that empowers more than it enslaves. That makes us more equal. It’s difficult but you can try.
