Mike Masnick ✅I wrote (yet again) about the "protect the children" moral panic regarding the internet, and how we should focus on raising kids to be safe in the real world, rather than trying to force the internet to be perfectly safe. Reality is that not everyone is great. Pretending that everything is safe does not prepare people for real life. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/24/rather-than-making-the-internet-safe-for-kids-make-your-kids-safe-for-the-real-world/
