I was jailbreaking my iPod when I was 11 and bypassing school computer restrictions. This isn’t stopping anyone. I think even a vpn would simply bypass this
I tormented the crap out of my middle schools IT guy. He couldn’t figure out how I managed to bypass the GPOs. Spoiler: the group policy was at the user level which made it easy to unapply.
I find it crazy how the IT departments at the various schools can’t seem to understand the economics of it all. The more they lock it down the more motivated the students become to break it. It also doesn’t help that schools are censorship hell.
I am less concerned with stopping young people from accessing the web then with general awareness of people about the damaging mental side effects of technology.
Those side effects are usually long term, an account and a few online interactions wont harm much. But a habit will.
If my kids hacks trough my infrastructure i will shine with IT pride… and then update my infrastructure explaining them why it is i am so concerned.
I know they will find ways outside my walled garden but keeping them in was never the point, providing a safe space to live to develop healthy habits is.
They may require real-world credentials for account creation to prevent that from happening.
She said the government was investigating methods of enforcing such restrictions that did not intervene with human rights, such as the requirement for a bank account.
In a couple (maybe most at this point idk) EU countries you can use your ID in combination with your phones NFC and an open source app to prove certain parameters like age to sites, without giving up any identifying information. This is what should be used here and not fucking bank accounts.

you’d be surprised at the technical capability of phone generations rather than pc generations

Technical aptitude is born of need. Of course this will limit most, but at least some will figure out bypasses.

It also gives parents assurance that they arent crazy for wanting to limit their kids access to these hell sites.
These parents should realize that they might run into it.
