People only focus on the tech solution of this. We don't make ciggys or booze impossible for kids to injest.
Socialy its not responsible to let your kids drink or smoke. Even behind ose doors.
I think a large part of the tech change is society itself. It needs to become taboo to let kids use the devices and services. Along with understanding the risks (addiction to tech, isolation, depression, being influenced etc). Funily enough the risks aren't only for children it's for all of us.
Yes. And SA is proposing a law against kids using online services.
Yet the conversion is about how the tech companies will handle it. Not about what society in general will do.
