I have a family member who always ignored everyone’s advice on actually parenting her kids, always chose to be their friends and the ‘cool mom’ instead, and now she’s desperately clawing to backpedal since the girls are whores, and the boys are increasingly looking like tweakers.

It’s not unforeseen at least.

@WashedOutGundamPilot ive never understood what compelled boomers to hand over internet to their kids, guess they just have no idea what it is, what kids watch, or that its full of porn. probably they know and just dont care.

not sure how this will be resolved either.
not seeing a porn block or child ban any time soon.

parental controls are a thing but seems hard to convince boomers why and how.

i've been seeing some parental control monthly subscription services pop up and sounds like something a lead head would drool over.

but the only thing i see the oligarchy allowing is some more dystopian ID verification

That's correct. They have no idea what the internet is. The internet.com means facebook for them. That's it. That's all they ever need and see.
