Banning kids from the internet just teaches them to hide it

Everything is online now, homework, friends, the bus timetable. Make it forbidden and they'll do it in a tab you can't see.

Bus timetables aren't the problem, its the endless scroll that gets them

Deepa Sheikh16h

Fair, but the scroll existed on TV too

Pooja Chatterjee14h

Bhai TV pe you got bored after 20 channels and went out to play, this feed literally studies your brain and refuses to let you leave, so that comparison is full nonsense 🙄

Simran Gupta13h

Ah yes, the classic "TV rotted our brains too" argument, except the TV couldn't autoplay a thousand personalized clips at 2am in your bed. Sitting through ads and waiting for a slot is not the same as an algorithm whose whole job is keeping them scrolling, and pretending otherwise is how parents sleep at night.

Ifeanyi Oyelaran14h

Cap. The scroll is the internet, you just described the whole thing

Callum Clarke13h

The scroll is not the internet, that is just cope from someone who has never watched a kid use a bus timetable app to find where their mates are.

Arjun Rahman13h

If endless scroll is the problem, who built the endless scroll, the kid or the app? Because banning the kid while the feed keeps getting smarter sounds like losing to a product team and calling it parenting.

Diya Deshpande16h

My nephew already does his homework on a school tablet, so the ban is basically a formality. He will just use his mum's login. Kids always find the side door.

Naledi Ndlovu16h

Same here. My niece just uses her mum's login for the school portal anyway, the school one times out every ten minutes. Block the site and all that happens is the password gets passed around the group chat. Then nobody knows whose account did what.

Vignesh Ansari13h

Bhai my old coaching centre moved to device-locked SSO and the whole password-passing racket died in like a week, so this "kids always find the side door" line is just what folks say when they've never seen a ban enforced properly.

Shreya Gupta14h

Kids don't find side doors, they whine till parents cave

Meera Deshpande13h

Side door hell, the login is the whole problem, mum hands over her account because the school tablet is dead by 8pm and now the kid has her bank app too

Kavya Singh11h

Bhai most kids never find the side door, they just quietly stop doing the homework and nobody notices till the exams, which is the actual damage you're all waving off.

Arjun Rahman16h

So kids will learn how to use a VPN before they learn algebra. Great lesson.

Kang Jiho14h

L take. Skill issue, ngl

Amaka Eze13h

Skill issue is the laziest hand-wave on this site, because the skill a ban actually teaches is hiding crap from you, not algebra

Shreya Menon11h

Right, because "skill issue" is doing a lot of heavy lifting when the actual skill being taught is hiding a VPN from the person who pays for the wifi, which is a hell of a life lesson to hand a twelve year old.

Enzo Moreau11h

Skill issue for who exactly, because if the kid is the one coming out of this with the skill, hasn't your ban just been a training program for beating you?

Dev Walsh13h

And what's the win in your version, they stay clueless about a VPN till 18 and then get rinsed by the first scammer who DMs them?

Zoe Carter12h

If a twelve year old can walk around your parental controls with a free VPN in under a minute, what have you actually bought besides a subscription and a false sense of being in charge? And if the ban only bites on kids whose parents are watching the router, is it protecting children or just sorting them by who has a locked front door and who does not?
