Is it just me, or do Parental Control systems in popular apps basically not work at all for common use-cases?

It’s not just you. We ultimately had to ban YouTube except for cases where we’re showing him one video. Netflix works better, because of its curation, but we ultimately rely on him knowing the rules. Which works until he wants to break them.

That probably works for slightly older kids.
@wykittens isn't "breaking the rules" on purpose, he's just still exploring the UI and looking for interesting stuff (which doesn't correspond with quality or even reasonable content)2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

It’s gotta be a whitelist, right? Even if they built better walls, we all have different standards.

YES. I get frustrated with this every time we watch movies as a family. It 100% should be a whitelist. A whitelist would be dead simple to implement and give parents complete freedom to use the standards they choose. Everything else is broken.

In YouTube, you'd want to be able to whitelist channels and playlists, but those concepts already exist. If people understood the use-case and cared to prioritize it, it'd already be implemented.
