It isn't, though. I'd say it's 50/50. I started using the Internet in 1998, and the only advice my parents gave me was "Don't reveal anything about yourself online." (Thankfully I heeded their warning and still to this day I'm very guarded about disclosing any form of PII.) Whilst admittedly a lot has changed in the last 25 years, I'd say only half the parents will actually try to keep their kids safe online. The other half will sit around watching crappy reality TV shows getting angry at their five-year-old children finding porn on their own personal smartphone* because they don't want to look up how to prevent them from doing that, and instead absolve that responsibility to the gov't... ...who in turn use that as an excuse to censor the Internet. *not entirely sure why a five-year-old needs a smartphone, but anyway. |

Ok, so is our answer then to abandon safety for the remaining 50% of families? Do we think that's fine, or tragic? I'm going with the latter.
