It's the *internet*. You can't regulate everything, it's not going to happen. If they have a smartphone, the kids will get out and explore it if they want to. No amount of GDPR laws and unbelievable penalties are going to stop that.

We need to get back to paper and pencil and the value of social skills. Or use a Chromebook in a sandbox if you must use tech.
