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.
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."

Rough age estimate for your kid?
