Beats parenting.

Dude you have no clue how fucking hard it is to keep kids away from this shit.
“Well just parent better”
Man you can try but kids just love making bad decisions and finding ways around blocks and filters left and right. Like I’m over letting my kid have anything more technical than two tin cups with some string.

then take away their fucking phone. they can call you with a dumb phone. they earned it. they may get back their phone in 2 weeks, until then, there’s the computer.

Yeah way ahead of you man. Already have. Been through this many many many time. Just over it.
You know what’s wild? Dumb phones have no way to block that crappy old browser. Also being able to see where they are is useful. And dude smart/dumb phones are expensive.
Replying to @cannedtuna@lemmy.world
they have a web browser? weird, how is that usable on such a small screen and without a pointing device?
well not cheap, but I wouldn’t call them expensive either. these are the prices where I live, in HUF so you need to convert it: www.arukereso.hu/mobiltelefon-c3277/klasszikus/
