iirc, this “state mandated” parental control system is able to be opted out of by the parent.

i was addicted to online video games as a teenager (I still am). my parents would turn the router off at bed time but I would sneak downstairs and turn it back on. they found out eventually and took the router into their room, I would sneak in after they fell asleep and grab it and plug it in to play games and return it before I went to sleep. Then I helped my neighbor set up his wifi and could pick it up at 1 bar, worse case scenario cause I knew the password. The really addicted and resourceful kids will be able to still play, they’ll have VPNs and workarounds. It does help the majority who aren’t as addicted and maybe prevents cases like mine - my schoolwork suffered a lot and I was constantly tired from staying up late playing games.

Oh, that’s good… I guess it’s about recommending what parents should do to deal with this problem…

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
