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.

to know all the answers is… forbidden knowledge

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

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

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

The thing is, parents get incredibly conflicted messages about this. When a child DOES end up looking at something bad parents get all the blame for not supervising and controlling their child and get called abusive. If they supervise and control their child they get called helicopter parents or abusive as well.

And it's not only regarding the internet. When parents let their children roam, for example, the neighborhood and something bad happens, the parents get the blame and called abusive for letting their child roam the neighborhood. If they control outdoors time for they child, they are abusive again.

It literally doesn't matter what you do as a parent, a lot of people will call you a bad parent or an abuser for it. I believe it is one reason why some people don't want to have children at all. It's basically an impossible task.

Not everywhere. This is typical for the US.

Stop spying on your kid... Jesus.

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.

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

Kaspersky safe kids...Good to know to never use that.

Kaspersky premium is still pretty good, not perfect, but good.
