    The Internet destroys that concept. The good and the bad are one link away, you need constant vigilance and you have almost no help. It’s not healthy to micromanage your children’s media consumption. It’s like helicopter parents who never let their kids free. Setting this as the expectation isn’t healthy.

    I agree, but with all the brand recognition, corporate TOS, rules, “kids” section, design, beeping off swear words and restrictions on YouTube it gives most parents the appearance to be a save place.
