I've read about 80% of this page, and eventually stopped at the part where he says that the next generation will be more cautious. This, in my opinion, is false. Most software has simplified for user experience, and has not helped kids in the slightest bit. Its more addictive than ever, and all caution gets thrown out of the window when we let kids browse youtube unsupervised. Heck, a wrong search query or random text can give you NSFW content. And with the rise of shorts/stories/tiktoks you'll be molded by the algorithms. You don't or have barely any control over the content you see. If it notices you watch, what, 5 seconds? of a clip, it'll start recommending that.

The issues we have nowadays are different than those in 2005. People that havent seen the bad parts of the internet, will not teach their kids about it either...
