    There will never be unified controls. It is impossible from a technical perspective. Kids are using live comments in Office to chat. Kids use Chinese VPN apps. Unified controls and ID laws only serve to immediately identify children and make them targets. Also big tech knows advertising is more lucrative than any other group. Your just feeding your kids to the capitalism meat grinder and making them targets for wrong doers.

      Ya, there’s no easy fix and I’m not an expert but it seems most of my kids friends (parents) version of parental controls on their devices was “Good luck, we’re all counting on you”

      It needs to be easier for the average parent l. I bet if you put a hard roadblock in front of Google, Apple, Microsoft regarding not being able to release an app, an os unless it met some formalized level of parental controls and they’d figure it out pretty quick.
