no I blame the rapist personally, predators exploit any tools they're able to

there was plenty of "you need to get your kids on computers so they can get the jobs of the future" in the 90s that parents fell into, and information about online predation was almost non-existent at the time - I didn't even have to share my home address or name, I was encouraged to meet this person at their church

mind you my guardian at the time didn't even graduate high school

I shouldn't have been given access to tools my parent didn't understand, but corporations still pressure this constantly today

I doubt even a single digit % of parents know what they're doing when giving kids free access to youtube for example... and recently the CEO of roblox called pedophiles an "opportunity"
