I laughed out loud at this. It is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

I'll give you a hard reason of which you must not be aware: it actually takes two parents to have a child.

Think about why that's important. If one parent is too addicted to their own usage of Instagram, and models that for the kids, the kids will pull that towards them, no matter what the other parent does.

You cannot monitor children constantly, unless you are are, say, a billionaire tech executive who has willingly ignored all data to show that his products have damaged society and children in pursuit of personal profit.

There is only one person in the world that can afford to do what you suggest, and his initials are MZ.

It's pretty trivial to block access to certain sites or apps. Or better yet, you raise your kids well so that you don't need to rely on technology to keep them away from bad things.

If I block them when the kids are with me, and then my ex-wife unblocks them when the kids are with her, the hordes are past the gate.

I'll do my best raising my kids well, as you said.

Well that's an inherent problem of having multiple people with custody of a single child.

Ideally a compromise can be reached, but in extreme cases I suppose it could end up with litigation. But still, this is a private dispute, not something that should require outsourcing parenting to the government.
