Then don't hand them your tablet and look away.

Or at least check the damn history.

Many kids have their own phones/devices long before high school, unsupervised internet access anytjme and many parents have no idea how to even set up parental controls or do the most basic things to protect them. Kids learn to lie about their age to sign up on social media platforms etc. Some parents think young kids have a right to privacy online. They're very naive, the kids and parents.

I've known parents who don't even have the password to their kid's phone/device. They could be doing anything, and they are. Little kids make 'jokes' about selling feet pics (which is a grooming gateway). I've known a kid who had an older online 'friend' who sent them gifts to their home, though they'd never shared their address and even then no alarm bells went off. Its really mind boggling but its definitely not a good idea to trust parents to protect their kids online. I'm saying this as someone who had unsupervised internet access from the age of 11 - its not the same now.

Then those kids are gonna see weird porn no matter what.

Stop fucking up the internet for the rest of us, just because some parents can't or won't raise their kids the way you want.
