Matthew Prince is the biggest cunt the world has ever known. He is a greater enemy to free speech than most names the majority of proponents freely throw around.
I suppose this is better than the alternative. Being an actual parent to your child and monitoring the sites they can and cannot visit. There's parental control software for almost everything these days.
Oh wait, then you'd have to raise your own kid instead of letting the state do it.
Bruh I'm 40 and had to ask my boomer dad to deactivate his parental controls so I could shitpost on 4chan over the weekend while I was visiting him. The thing was on by default! That's how little some of these parents need to do: nothing!

Have four kids: who tf is even letting their kids on the internet in [current year]?
My kids don't even get to click on a youtube recommendation without my express approval, and that's already the limit of their access to the internet, Youtube videos I explicitly found for them to watch. (Documentaries, kids gospel songs, the occasional classic cartoon.)
I realise not everyone is a programmer and can write programs specifically for their kids, but hell, if I was a tiny bit lazier, I could find plenty of non internet shit for my kids to do. Ten years ago I might understand letting the kids access specific sites, and 15-20 years ago specific internet accessible games, but now? FFS, NO.
The kids swap info on how to get around stuff. I keep finding new ways to lock down stuff, and my kid keeps finding ways around it. He installed a separate web browser, emulator boxed it, and then signed in that way. Idiot forgot I have access to his accounts so I spotted the new search.
I don't give mine enough freedom to do that kind of stuff, but even the oldest is under 10. I plan to give them their "own" computer this year, maybe a Rpie, maybe an old workstation with a linux build. But once I've actually taught them the "how" I do want to have a plan of action for the "when."
It's time to let customers start blocking those who think they know who should be blocked.
It will be a different world when the big players aren't being able to be see, through choice by the consumer, and all of a sudden a new acceptance of choice will become apparent.
Unless they win in which case it's just more of the same but costing more and with no alternatives.
Reminder that Cloudflare cancelled Kiwifarms. They are not your ally or friend, and will bend the knee to public pressure.
And 8chan.

Rough age estimate for your kid?

Cool it with the antisemitism!
