Of course, those two things are very clearly easy to show how they are dangerous and we still haven’t managed to get rid of it completely so something similar for kids use of the Internet would be harder to pull off.

In the parenting world there’s always something new that you get shunned for doing with your child, maybe one day it could be sticking them in front of an iPad.
