    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

      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.

    Yeah, sure, man. I haven't looked much into social media when I was 13, and had seen porn ads and ran into surprise things. Looking back, I don't think I needed this nanny thing.

    kids will easily find ways around this, and social medias will facilitate it

      Properly motivated ones will find a way around it. Those just clicking out of habit might not be assed to. If the whole point is zoning out, being asked to perform intellectual labour to access it is counterproductive to the urge.
