Gives them a good reason to hang around with friends, if they can get to the internet via them, right? :)
Anyone that does this is just trying to indoctrinate their kid and prevent them from being exposed to any other ideas.
Books, magazines and libraries still exist, though.
Nevertheless, I won’t probably be as radical as to completely ban Internet from my two younger kids. But the idea is interesting after seeing via my older kids what an unrestricted access led to.
I’m curious of this as a thought experiment: what do you think the children will miss if they don’t access the Internet before the age of 16? What did the hundreds of generations of children before the invention and spread of Internet lack?
And also spying is the best way to lose your kid’s trust.
Well of course tell them that you’re gonna do it. I guess “spying” isn’t the best word then?
I’d like to go against the stream and say that if you let your kids use the internet, spy the fuck out of everything they do in there. At least until they’re something like 16yrs old.
Better yet, don’t let them use the internet.
Does it actually say “forbidden knowledge”?
Even if the leadership of a company is focused on making money, a lot of the organization below that leadership might very well be focused on providing a good service. Which for a food producing company would mean feeding people. A lot of time there’s a synergy between making money and providing a good service.
You could also say that the leadership of a communist country doesn’t care about feeding people, they care about the people not revolting out of hunger. There’s a kind of positive synergy there too.
Did you try to ask yourself why they might be banned in Ukraine? Could it be it’s because they’re in a war against an enemy who was supported by said parties? Also, you seem to have neglected to mention that in the same legislation, nazi symbology was also banned?
By what standard? According to https://www.heritage.org/index/ranking for instance, there are 24 countries in the world with freer economy than USA.
Also indicentally many of those countries are on this list: https://www.yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.au/expert-insights/revealed-the-20-happiest-countries-in-the-world-for-2023 – it seems like free economy often correlates with happy society.
Yes yes. And America is not real market economy capitalism either, that’s the only reason why it sucks so much.
I wouldn’t be so defeatist. Things can be changed if enough people want to change them. Children have been and are being protected from various things right now. There’s no reason why new things couldn’t be added to that.
