How about we get parents to actually give a shit about what their kids do online.

If a parent would give their kids blank plane tickets to anywhere in the world, and the kids get hurt in another country. Would we blame the plane pilot, the airship company or the parents? Cause sending your kids on the internet alone is the exact same ! It should always be the parents who care for their kids to control and limit their exposure to internet not society as a whole.

That was a very good analogy.

I think you're saying that we should be giving parents the tools to parent their kids and the accountability to take responsibility when their parenting affects others negatively.

I've been saying this for years.
