Definitely agree. Kids are not prisoners and will react predictably if you try vainly to lock them down. Theyll find vpns, save money for their own phone, barrow a friends ipad, google the simplest way to jailbreak a cheap IoT device, or any of dozens of ways to subvert lockdown.

Or worse the kid wont be subvertive. Theyll be supplicative, submissive, and compliant.

Maybe just spend a few less hours in the office or on netflix and develop a trust filled relationship with your child, prempting the biggest threats with candid conversation about sex, drugs, risk analysis, and the fact that as a parent we broke all those rules too.

This all actually seems like good lessons to me. Well, except simply borrowing a friend's ipad. But I guess even just making a close enough friend who trusts them to lend an ipad is still a good skill

I don't know. Maybe kids can benefit from having some artificial boundaries that make them think outside the box and put in effort to overcome
