A classic. So many questions arise from this simple text+image post:

Is this person's child named really "Strairdrac The Netherwatcher"?
Is Strairdrac even human?
Why does Strairdrac want to teach crabs how to read?
Why is it considered forbidden knowledge?
What other knowledge is forbidden?

We will never have all the answers. Still, the questions are themselves a sort of answer.

[-] esadatari@lemmy.world 48 points 11 months ago

to know all the answers is… forbidden knowledge

[-] goddard_guryon@sopuli.xyz 34 points 11 months ago

Strairdrac is three crabs in a trenchcoat, now teaching others of his kind how to blend in with humans

I get the "haha" of this particular search getting reported on...but I think that this sort of surveillance is definitely stepping into creepy territory that will end up doing more harm than good.

There were definitely web searches I performed about topics back when I was younger that I would never want my parents to know. When you live in an oppressive household where you are taught never to think outside of the box or be anything your parents don't want you to be, having the internet available is supposed to be a path to liberation.

If they want to set up filters that block certain results, fine. But tattling is just unethical, especially if the child does not know their search history is being monitored by their parents.

It's perfect conditioning to accept authoritarian rule, and constant surveillance as normal.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 45 points 11 months ago

if only there was a Black mirror episode about the dangers of being an overbearing parent.

This sort of oppressive situation is my childhood in a nutshell. And you're right, it's entirely unethical, and in combination with other factors can be used as a factor in psychological abuse. I know I at least am traumatized from it, and surveillance was definitely one of many signifigant factors.

Stop spying on your kid... Jesus.

[-] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 91 points 11 months ago

Kids need access to the internet at a super young age these days for school. If you don't have some sort of filter in place when they are in single digits or tweens you are just negligent. The internet has some dark corners.

[-] cynetri@midwest.social 29 points 11 months ago

I don't mind just filters, but reporting it to the parent doesn't sit right with me. It probably depends on the parent though

Harder the surveillance, harder the kid works to bypass them

Kids are smart, good on OOP to teach their kids to use a VPN, about dual booting, and more

[-] candybrie@lemmy.world 37 points 11 months ago

If the kid is old enough to purposely bypass the security, they're probably around the right age to find some of the stuff on the other side. But you don't want them accidentally stumbling into it because they searched something seemingly innocent.

[-] MajickmanW@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

This brought a memory rushing back of me and a family friend in the mid 90s using the family computer to find funny websites.

Us: "Let's search butt.com!"

My godfather: "NOOOOO!!!"

It's possible to block without spying on though.

When I was a kid (way too many years ago) my parents gave up trying to restrict my Internet usage because no matter what they did I could easily get around it. I knew more about networking than they did. Then I grew up to become an IT administrator.

[-] Countless@lemmy.ml 42 points 11 months ago

The question is,will you be able to restrict YOUR kids?

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

See instead of blacklisting websites you whitelist instead

Don't restrict but rather educate and guide them. I would probably fail but hey: I tried.

My mom asked my uncle to restric access.
I researched how to unblock it during my time :)
Was seemingly IP-based and the router probably just created an DHCP reservation for my device. Changing IP to static and done. They should do it via MAC. And even that is useless nowadays.

Edit: Also work in IT now.

I gave my kids completely open internet access and just chose to talk with them on what they might encounter. If I'd locked their devices, they'd just went online at a friend's place.

I didn't restrict my kids Internet access, but I did tell them that even though I'm not tracking everything they're doing online, the ISP, the school, upstream providers, search engines, social medias, advertisers, and pretty much everyone else will be.

[-] SHITPOSTING_ACCOUNT@feddit.de 11 points 11 months ago

And this is why kids should grow up with increasingly restrictive parental control software. It's educational.
