    Also, I have read studies about social media risks. The studies showing harm are dubious

    So the studies are only good when it conforms to your “good data” biases. got it.

    Unfettered access is risky. Unsupervised access is risky. But cooperative, communication driven access becomes a very, very powerful tool for a parent.

    Then why block facebook, oh so “communication driven parent”? Or you’re kind of parent that buys themselves “#1 Dad” hat and start lecturing other parents on how your kid made it for you.

    Was your dad also busting your ass as you read 100 different annecdotal “parenting tips” from strangers on TV? Was your TV in your pocket 24/7 for supervised access and did your parent supervised and communicated about every nook and cranny of the internet?

    Technology has well surpassed what differentiated you and your parents. If you think you’ve got it all figured out, you might be in for a big wake up call.
