It's the wrong solution to the problem. The problem isn't children going on the Internet and looking at porn, it's parents allowing their kids unsupervised access to anything they want from a young age and not giving them any actual guidance. I'd argue it's just as damaging sitting your child in front of an iPad with unrestricted YouTube/TikTok for hours on end.
Lots of parents are fucking terrible though. Yeah we can blame them but it’s unlikely they’ll stop being terrible.
I’m not sure what the solution is and I don’t like the idea of this one but there defo needs to be a few more hoops to jump through for kids to access that stuff.
I agree that it can be a bit of both sides here, however what are the practical ways to prevent that? If you give your kid an hour of iPad time a day or whatever, are you going to stand over their shoulder the whole time? Maybe you have the technical expertise to block certain websites on a case by case basis on your router, but that's not most people. Even then, as soon as they're not on your home network anymore, it's free game. Again, I'm not saying the proposed french way is perfect, or even good, i'm conflicted.
