    @Fizz @swelter_spark I was raised with IT from basically my 9th birthday. The difference was when i was allowed to use IT it was always in a supervisioned environment till i was 14.

    Imho we should make all responsible persons ( parents / teacher / trainer … ) aware of their responsibility again and help them to fullfill their role.

    In the 80’s and 90’s parents could buy a TV for their kids. If they did so, they totally did understand that it’s their task to make sure how much , in what way and when their kids use the TV.

    The society could support by giving labels or times for certain content but they would never stop the availability of certain content.
    Remember the special corners in stores who lend vhs’s and dvd’s ?

    We need to stop over controlling and for sure we need to stop getting lobbied by groups who want to sell their products (business) or want to change the society for their believes (religions).

    There was a reason why democracies usually doesn’t have both influenced their law making.

      Having age-based limitations and supervision makes sense to me, but every set of parents has unique factors to consider when deciding what and when makes sense for their kids in their own lives.
