Certainly, I oppose mass surveillance and (most) censorship.
And certainly, parents should parent
But I believe you misunderstand the world we live in if you think parents bear the bulk of responsiblity for child safety. In our world, all gov have mountains of product safety laws for manufacturers. Then mountains more for safe usage and distribution.
It is in THIS world, already after layers of safety, do we expect parents to protect their children.

@thecyberwitch IMO, the same principles we apply to food, medicine, toys, buildings, etc should apply to online safety (for everyone, not just children). And if you read OSA, that's what it does...and not only for "kids" I do agree that "for the kids" is an abused rationale and often not true. But techbros use pseudo-libertarian arguments and simplistic "for the kids is a lie" logic to block any regulation. It is THAT which I am objecting to. We should improve OSA, not reverse it /End
