Come up with a solution that works instead of a slogan.

The last person who divulged any details about what he meant when he said 'parents should parent' went on to reveal that parents should learn to manually configure home routers, a solution that is technologically unattainable for most parents. Again I ask, do you have a solution or a slogan?

I do not need to have the real secret of immortality to say to the emperor that swallowing mercury is bad.

The burden of proof is on those who put forward a solution.

You can say as much as you want about burden of proof and the way things should work. But society doesn't care. Trying to play Diplomacy like a chess game is a losing strategy.
maybe do not give your kids self-controlled access to devices with internet access?

Of course that isolates them from their peers who have less caring parents that give them access.

Cool. A non-viable solution, We'll keep encroaching on privacy. Have it your way.
The goal is to encroach on privacy, and those interests are using the children able to do it. There is no “solution” to the children using the internet anonymously problem that will satisfy them. We have to keep fighting for privacy.
