Anything but holding parents responsible.
Anything but giving parents/users responsibility.
Sudo su root!
Sudo su root now!
I'm giving root to my kids if and when I feel like they can handle it.
This literally IS putting the responsibility on parents.
The law requires that part of "account setup" includes asking the user's age bracket, and then allowing apps installed via "stores" to retrieve that value from the OS. The entire burden of trust in this implementation is placed on the owner of the hardware, exactly where it should be.
For real. Let's repeal all the laws around age, and make parents responsible. Drinking, smoking, driving, body art, firearms, etc. Let parents decide!
No, let's hold parents responsible if their child breaks any laws.
What laws? As far as I know it's not illegal for children to view pornography. Are you suggesting it should be? And you would have their parents charged with a crime if they were to do it?
Children have been in their neighbor's dad's nude mags since the beginning of time. Maybe if they don't get molested and perps go free we could make progress there. " We can't arrest anyone for Epstein files, but we need to track you so we can 'protect children'." It's outrageous.
