A classic. So many questions arise from this simple text+image post:

  1. Is this person's child named really "Strairdrac The Netherwatcher"?
  2. Is Strairdrac even human?
  3. Why does Strairdrac want to teach crabs how to read?
  4. Why is it considered forbidden knowledge?
  5. What other knowledge is forbidden?

We will never have all the answers. Still, the questions are themselves a sort of answer.

    Kids need access to the internet at a super young age these days for school. If you don't have some sort of filter in place when they are in single digits or tweens you are just negligent. The internet has some dark corners.

    Harder the surveillance, harder the kid works to bypass them

    Kids are smart, good on OOP to teach their kids to use a VPN, about dual booting, and more

    If the kid is old enough to purposely bypass the security, they're probably around the right age to find some of the stuff on the other side. But you don't want them accidentally stumbling into it because they searched something seemingly innocent.

    When I was a kid (way too many years ago) my parents gave up trying to restrict my Internet usage because no matter what they did I could easily get around it. I knew more about networking than they did. Then I grew up to become an IT administrator.

    The question is,will you be able to restrict YOUR kids?

    I didn't restrict my kids Internet access, but I did tell them that even though I'm not tracking everything they're doing online, the ISP, the school, upstream providers, search engines, social medias, advertisers, and pretty much everyone else will be.
