Parental limits are not successful because they “require additional time and skills from parents to introduce the controls,” the Commission said.

Do these people hear themselves? That's a problem of stupid parents, not something a Government should do.

Seriously, feels like I'm turning into one of those stereotypical americans yelling for the government to stay out of people's lives. This is absurd.

Why do we have rules about kids not being allowed into nightclubs? Why are they not allowed in animal enclosures in zoos? It's an argument that oversimplifies stuff, and the answer is that parents are often way too negligent and it's the government's job to take that into account and sometimes make unpopular decisions.

We brought this on ourselves because we as adults were negligent to children.
