Even if some truly believe that, the reason these things are introduced is never to "save the kids" and there's something else that's a much higher motivation
Exactly why I hate that mantra as... I feel the net made people too comfortable to ruin spaces. The biggest problem is that you have too many adults in kids spaces or too many kids in adult spaces. " Save the kids"... Is hollow, and does more harm than good as " If want to save the KIDS, why don't you keep them away from a playground with rusty nails everywhere as that is what the net is at best, and at worst is vile. ". Some content isn't meant for kids, but we shouldn't harm the experience of adults. Parents should be held more accountable for bad internet usage from their kids, but no adult these days are willing to have that accountability.
