Filtering internet access for someone does not imply they are property; no legal system in the world (that I know of) recognizes or treats children as property. The idea that children should be permitted to do whatever they want so long as they can pay for it seems very backwards. We all know children aren't property, but we also know that parents have a responsibility to raise their children such that they are protected from things they may not understand yet.

To be honest, I was surprised to see you making comments like this, after seeing your programming skill, pretty reasonable takes about software, and discussions on Fedi.
