I find tracking all individuals way more dangerous long term than the effects of unmediated internet use.
Parents should be more involved in children's digital use.
Does outlawing Marijuana stop minors from accessing it? No, I started smoking young. Does requiring an ID stop minors from drinking alcohol? I'm sure many of you will attest to underage drinking
However, tracking everyone doing everything, tracking whatever they say whatever they look at. That impacts everyone, not just minors.
