Unfortunately a lot of parental controls aren't that helpful, and they're more of an afterthought

I agree with parenting in general though

    The existing tools also extend poorly to cover adults with developmental disabilities who need a digital shepherd to make sure they're using the web safely. There's no substitute to being involved. Also, we should bring back the family computer. My parents had a computer in the public area of the house since I was in elementary school. Even in the age of laptops, we had a shared desktop.
