Scapegoat is the person being falsely blamed for a problem. Children looking at shit they shouldn’t be online is the parents fault for not supervising them or utilizing any of the numerous parental control options available to them.
In this case the rest us are being blamed for that problem by being forced to deal with a bunch of privacy invading bullshit to fix it.
When you teach your child to look both ways before they cross the street, is that helicopter parenting? Or how about when you teach them not to talk to strangers even if the stranger is wearing a uniform? Do you allow children into your liquor cabinet to pour themselves a tall shot of whiskey? Etc et al. I don’t consider it helicopter parenting to put age appropriate restrictions on what your child can engage with on your network. I call that sound, responsible, parenting.
It’s not about what you teach them. You can teach them whatever you want, it doesn’t mean they’re going to do it. The only way to stop them from doing it is to hover over them (hence the term helicopter).
Teaching a child isn’t about creating robots. I said it earlier in this thread, but you have 18 years of bootcamp to equip your child with all the tools necessary to make, wise, prudent decisions in life. You’re not going to be there, hopping out of bushes, wagging your finger at them forever. However, while they are in your charge, they are your resopnsibility to keep safe and secure. You are the network admin.
How about tell the parents to pay attention to what their fucking kids are doing online instead of dragging the rest of us into it?
You are cursing at the scapegoats. Don’t fall into this trap.
They’re not scapegoats. It’s the parents responsibility to keep an eye on their kids. The scapegoats are the rest of us having to give up our privacy.
Maybe you should google what “scapegoat” means.

How about nobody else’a fucking children are anybody else’s fucking problem.
Fuck your stupid fucking kids.
Not literally of course. I’m not a republican.
I don’t think helicopter parenting is the solution.
I don’t believe monitoring your child’s online habits is “helicopter parenting.” It’s just being a responsible parent.
Well they should just leave it be, but If they have to do something better that than invading everyone else’s privacy and ruining the internet.

I don’t understand what any of that has to do with this conversation.
I think they didn’t get what the fake argument of these politicians were and just jumped to hating children+parents.
What about the basics of a responsible parent?
…what about them?
You think basic parental duties is helicopter parenting?
Listen, can you just explain yourself instead of going back and forth and asking senseless questions?
