And the worse part, we DO have tools for parents. Either they don't know these tools exist or they don't know how to use them. Mostly because they're tech-illiterate. Kudos to the parents who educate themselves.
This is a benign example, but I was talking with a fellow parent about our dislike of Paw Patrol and told them I had to remove that as an option in Netflix. They were shocked that was possible and I could see the gears turning in their head with that new info. Granted I'm not parenting a teenager yet, but it seems like most of the functionality in bigger platforms generally exists, people just don't know it's there and to set it.
