    Most routers have parental controls. Web sites have categories, and you can explicitly block those categories. You can use 3rd party dns tools like nextdns for granular control. Lots of parental software you can install that can limit PC time use, sites, tracking, etc. you can blacklist sites too. Lots of control and access levels so you don’t block yourself too.

        sure, but it’s not going to curb the curiosity 100%. and it’s not just sex sites, kids don’t need to see sites like crazyshit.com, etc until they’re at least mature enough.

        @mmagod

        Do you have kids?

        What did you tell them about hardcore anal? All the kids want anal now.

        They don’t know about all the prep, the behind the scenes, the emergency room runs where someone gets a perferated colon and risks bleeding out internally.

        Did you mention that to your daughter?

        I’m not advocating for government control, but simple snappy one liners are just that. Unless they’re funny. We all like those 😉

      And then you put your phone on cellular and all the Wi-Fi controls are gone.

      Google family app does some good.

        if you’ve got a kid old enough to be using a phone, but not old enough to know about sex, and you haven’t enabled parental controls, you have other things to worry about. or they’re old enough to look at whatever they please.
