This is what it's about. My daughter started reaching sites I had explicitly blocked in her phone and our home network (OPNSense + AdGuard Home) using a VPN.

I dis not blame the sites, or the ISP, or even the VPN provider. She has a PC and Phone because we, her parents, allowed it, so that's on her for choosing to circumvent the security implemented, and on US for providing the means.

So, she has no access to any technology until further notice. Why the fuck does everyone have to pay because some of us are not parenting correctly?

I certainly don't want any company or government deciding what my kids can or cannot have access to, that's my role, not theirs.
