alt Hacker News> Bring back curated services like Prodigy and Compuserve, or just don’t give kids internet access until they’re ready for it.
This comment should be highlighted on a forum like this. There is absolutely a business opportunity here, and it would double as a public service. You might even be able to get some grants for it!
Cell phone companies like AT&T could offer kid-lines (with filtered Internet access) and Google and Apple could provide kid-modes on their phones that don't allow VPNs or apps to be installed that parents do not approve of.
Maybe there might already be ways to prevent VPNs/apps, but it doesn't seem to be easy and/or publicized.
