    If all parents checked their children device just a bit… I’m struggling to block some yt channels now for example either via DNS or family link, but there’s no way. Help parents do these kind of things instead of letting govs go the privacy breach way to make us dumb citizens.

      This has nothing to do with children. It’s a proposal by technologically inept people who argue that encryption needs to be removed but encryption is so basic that it isn’t really feasible to do so. You can make the access harder but that is only an issue for your average joe. Individuals with criminal energy who this is supposed to be about will continue to encrypt their communication while regular users will give up their privacy.

        DNS should allow us to create a blacklist of sites, it would avoid to trash our phone CPU for some useless antivirus, family link (and I guess other MDM) is already enough. If not the DNS, then family link itself.

          But a YouTube “channel” is an application/service specific concept, not exposed in any way dns would be aware of.

      Help parents do these kind of things

      No offense to parents of Lemmy and I am not generalising too much, but in my experience, many parents are lazy. I’m sure you’d have heard from your own parents or another the expression “didn’t they teach you that in school?” Parents pass on the responsibility to someone else who have their own social boundaries when it comes to teaching children.

        That’s why I try to push ChromeOS and family link so much, it’s the only 100% good thing Google created for free, both for school and family mdm. And once they’re e 18 they’ll be free to roam with MS, apple, Linux or whatever they want

          I promote Linux in my family, Signal for chat. Selfhosted Immich for pictures. This the right way to teach my kids.

              The problem with niche social media platforms like this is that your friends don’t use them, so you end up using it in a kind of vacuum.

                Which is appealing when you have your friends and you want to have fun with them without chat control and Sauron watching your fart-like messages
