MODERATORS
Doesn’t help with YouTube, has to be constantly updated, requires more tech know-how than the average person, unfortunately. Most people don’t feel comfortable digging around in their modem settings.
We need more consumer protections. The floor is too low.
Not that hard to get it to auto update if you’re already techie enough to set it up.
Big “if” for most people tbh
