It's possible to design something parents can control without using lots of their time to do so.

So you are back to

> what if we didn't try to shoehorn a stupid and unworkable technological solution into this problem space

Depends on how you end that sentence.

If you end it with "and make a good easy to use technical solution instead" then you found my stance.

If you end it with "and just...made parents responsible for their kids?" like GP then no that's not my stance at all.

> If you end it with "and make a good easy to use technical solution instead" then you found my stance.

That assumes a good easy to use technical solution is possible. What if classifying user-generated content as safe for kids is enormously subjective, and the labor required to accurately classify it even given a hypothetical objective standard would cost more than users are willing to pay to have it done?

So you could say the same for original echnical solution. > make a good easy to use technical solution instead
