  You don’t need to strip them of privacy to do that. If they’re too young to understand what they’re looking at just slap on some parental controls to whatever device they’re using. It’s not hard to explain to your children why being alt right is bad. It is hard to convince them you value their privacy after you’ve been spying on them.

    You first need to know that it’s a problem before applying disciplinary measures

      Giving kids the illusion of privacy so you can monitor them and punish them for doing things you disagree with is way worse than just not letting them do that thing. Or better yet, why not step the fuck up, do some parenting and explain to your kids why some things are bad.

        I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. You start by showing trust in them, if you realize that they do weird stuff you find the source and then act on it. I’m your case you’re skipping the trust phase and applying parental control from the get go, preemptive discipline is no way to raise a child.

        Eggactly.

        I’ll just tell him that’s it’s fine, nothing to be ashamed of. And tell him about sex stuff not just educational like, biology, safety, etc. But also the fun stuff like cosplay, masturbation, etc.

        And yeah respect others privacy and don’t do sexual stuff in public and never force anyone. And get at least 10 lol before getting gf.

        Now go play outside or I’ll spank you.

    they’re 8. I used to teach 9-10 year olds and it’s not their fault, they aren’t stupid but they are kids and sometimes the things they do aren’t fully thought through or appropriate and they don’t know better.

    Can parental controls block alt right type stuff nowadays?

      You can restrict access to whatever you want to. If you really wanted to you could curate a whitelist of places they could go to but honestly I’m not sure how I feel about that either

        Maintaining a denylist of harmful sites is not something any parent has time to do properly. Maintaining an allowlist is time consuming and technical. All some parents hvae in their toolbox is reviewing browser history and I’m not going to fault them for doing what they can to make things a bit safer online for their kid.
