> What's not an opportunity is locking down the entire world so children can't screw up.

Massively agree. It's also not good to teach children that computers are locked-down things you can't control.

Kids between 2 and 11 years old spend an average of 5/6 hours per day in front of a screen. And kids between 2 and 3 see an average of 25,600 ads a year. This article is not about parenting, it's about regulating the software industry.
I rather view it as limited, and every computer has limits. Including the one's in a traffic light. So for example an air gapped machine has limits which allow you to not worry about the Internet.
