Fair on the privacy aspect, but again, I’ll point out that Microsoft Family already does the age bracket thing. I think how it’s done is slightly different, as software/websites have to disclose age groups rather than requesting it. Different sides of the same coin to be sure.
As for parents, I think it’s a mixed bag. I know a lot who are a mess at computers. Most don’t even know these tools even exist. Those that do, don’t have the time to do it properly (it only takes one night when your kid gets locked out of their account doing schoolwork due to screen time limits and your trying to troubleshoot why your approval to your kids request isn’t going thru via your phone, etc). But there certainly are also those that don’t care at all or feel they shouldn’t have to do it. It’s getting better though, I see a lot less young people with tech blindness every year.
