Because it is totally reasonable to expect parents to have total surveillance of all their kids every single moment of kids life up to 18 years old.

The only thing it achieves is ever growing helicopter parenting and related anxieties ... while the same people who complained about parents not controlling everything complain when they try.

We expect shops and passerbys to not sell porn or steal from kids in real life.



Stealing from anyone is already illegal, so that's not relevant here. And I don't think kids seeing porn is particularly harmful.

That's not what is happening on Facebook and there is no way I could believe you genuinely think that's what everyone is talking about. Did you even read the article? Porn isn't mentioned once. Pedophiles are asking kids to send them photos, trying to connect with them to arrange sex. You, upthread, told me that the sexual solicitation of minors was only harmful "subjectively" whatever that means.
