Some Apple users say its parental controls aren’t working properly. A CEO who has 4 kids called it ‘frustrating.’::Parents told The Wall Street Journal they have to continuously check their Screen Time settings to ensure their children’s usage is limited.

    The other frustrating thing about Apple’s parental controls is that you need another Apple device to use them. Good old fashioned brand lock-in. No good reason you couldn’t manage this in a browser.

        “Help keep your family safer online”

        So you rather let Google track your whole family? You can’t say you care for privacy while using Google services, it’s a contradiction.

        And their walled garden is even trying to DRM the web.

          I can’t hold others who shill for Google in good faith, not after what the business has been doing for years, and especially recently. They’re several orders of magnitude worse than Apple at this point.

          Blind faith in a monopoly who controls the ads on almost half of all Internet websites, 70% of the browser market (and the phone OS market for that matter), basically the entirety of online video sharing, etc… is precisely why Google is able to force anti-web bullshit like attestation-based DRM. And there’s nothing we can do about it; their engineers doubled down on WEI and liken us to criminals.
