Ah yes, but then how do you actually enforce these curated playlists are the only things your kids have access to? Especially when your kids have Chromebooks at school, and friends with unrestricted access on their devices, and learn ways to workaround any screen time restrictions?

Feels to me like attacking the problem from the wrong angle.



You can’t 100% prevent them from accessing trash but you can limit it as much as possible.

We’ve had success so far but I am concerned with what happens as they get older and get social pressure to join social media.

I guess we have to parent. Paraphrasing something I saw elsewhere:

“Raise your girls or meangirl anorexia influencers will; raise your boys or Andrew Tate will.”

It’s always been important to keep your kids away from bad influences. It’s just that now they can get life guidance from sociopaths, creeps, unhinged ideologues, and self destructive losers in their pockets.
