Hey kid, give me the phone…glance through followers.
Cool.
Why are we trying to turn parents into spies. Just talk to your kids. Check the devices on occasion. Check them anyways for shady apps or signs of malware. Phones are computers that happen to fit in the hand and has a sim.
First suggestion is impractical. Not going to be able to memorize 100 names to look up and research later
Second suggestion should already be happening, but doesn’t capture the desired use case.
The use case is this: in physical life, there is a gradient of “boundaries/leashes” to match maturity and development. For example, the gradient of movie ratings, or:
Very young - stay within arms reach/sight
Young - stay in the yard/park/neighborhood
Child - stick with what’s familiar, I’ll be nearby
Pre-teen - go and try it, I can be right there
Teen - go and try it yourself, call me if needed
We could argue about whether a gradient is too steep or shallow, but the point is that one exists.
In contrast, digital in many ways is very often all-or-nothing
Not saying digital should be “gradient-ed” in all cases, that leads to tone-deaf rules and bad security practices. Just trying to show what the problem is
