MODERATORS
If you feel the need to search your kid's tablet, smartphone or PC it's either too young to have one unattended or you should reevaluate your educational methods.
If a kid feels like it needs to lie and hide all the it will do so.
And what are these parents expecting to find? Documents of an international drug cartel? It's porn, games, questionable videos and memes. You knew that beforehand. Talk to them, make sure they know their various ways to stay safe online, physically and mentally.
My friends with kids mostly look at their shit to make sure they aren't involved bigoted online spaces.
Yeah, or chatting with a stranger who, to an adult, is obviously an adult acting as a child. But, to a child isn't so obvious.
Or being extorted in other ways.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/764_(organization)
oh yeah, they watch for a lot of things. The reason I brought up the one I did was my one friend's son, who is now an adult, fell heavily into the red pill nonsense, and it caused serious problems. So other friends are particularly on the look for that. Most of the kids are now in the mid to late teens, and early 20s though, so they mostly leave them be now.
Keep them away from Bigoted Bill.
