She's on the right track: children shouldn't have unrestricted access to the internet (or rather, the internet shouldn't have unrestricted access to your children). But you don't need a special locked-down smartphone for that - just don't buy your kid a smartphone.
I had largely unrestricted access to the internet from the age of 11/12 on, and that was back when it really was the wild west. It was far less dangerous back then because Discord troons grooming mentally ill kids into sexually mutilating themselves wasn't a problem back then. If the state ever wants to play a constructive role in internet safety (they don't and likely never will), shutting down tranny gathering places and enforcing antitrust laws against Big Tech would go a long way towards improving things.
I think the better solution is to go for the source of the problem.
These troons may usually be acting on their own, but their goals are often aided by leftist corrupted government and NGO programs and agencies. The medical industry, insurance companies, state and federal policies, the EU, the UN, etc etc.
You're not going to be able to go after tranny hives through Internet communities without potentially giving leftists and the state even more tools and power to abuse for their own agendas.
It should be the responsibility of the parents. Problem is the parents aren't being responsible parents, allowing for the problem to occur. So now enough unrelated people are having to suffer from the consequences of these retarded parents that the government stepping in seems necessary.

They were just sitting in any open IRC chat ready to pounce, things weren't all that different back then.
I believe that was the implied point Grumman was making. Parents can and should be the ones to restrict that access, not the government.

It's entirely a parental issue not a government one. Government should not be involved in restricting the internet, ever.
