The subtitle on that page is so arrogantly ignorant.

Hah yeah, "impossible". I bet it will take 60 seconds after w/e Google and Apple do rolls out, for some kid to bypass it. From which, 60 more seconds for every other kid to learn how, from that kid.

And it won't even solve the big harms that kids experience from tech. It won't solve cyber bullying! It won't solve the disinformation firehose. It won't solve sextortion schemes. It won't solve doxing. It won't solve social media destroying their feeling of self worth. It won't solve swatting. It won't solve ANY of that shit.
