flatbush27 … none of what you are saying is incorrect. However, I feel that the instinctive “curl up into a ball and insulate ourselves” approach is misguided and will create more harm than good. Teenagers (and adults for that matter as well) can and will find ways to access what the want if they are so inclined to. By allowing supervised access, and with parental supervision, intervention and communication, teenagers (and adults) can learn to use the internet properly.
what do you think?
BTW, I never mentioned the word filters … they don’t really work and are too easy to get around. However, monitoring software that it is clear that it will be known to whoever is monitoring that it was disabled, works much better (some examples are spector, covenant eyes etc)
