[Feedback] Parental Controls - seeking feedback and ideas for the SMARTY app
I totally believe in a whitelist-only approach to media for children, not blacklist-based censorship. I am a member of a mum's group where we share videos, books and webpages that suit our shared idea of what a beneficial/suitable book or page (not site) is for our children, and then I make it available to them on their devices (downloaded, and with the adverts removed and tracking also impossible). The great benefit of this is that I am not contributing to mass censorship of the internet, but rather to a community that consents to apply the rules to themselves. This also massively reduces the risk of my children accessing dangerous and unsuitable materials, and allows me to make decisions for my own family.
I don't want my internet provider to get involved with this process, in case you're wondering, SMARTY <3.
