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.

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.
