 Unsupervised access
Dear Lassie
I agree with everything you have said in your post, especially: Quote: |
P2P being an immensely powerful and liberating application for PCs, putting one in touch with millions and involving moral choices not often presented in everyday life is unsuitable for unsupervised use by minors.
| However, not your conclusion in favour of parental controls, you have said that P2P is "unsuitable for unsupervised use by minors". Therefore, parents should supervise their children’s use of the family’s PC and not try to palm off their responsibilities to a third party. If parents cannot be bothered to look after their children, and supervision is looking after, why have them.
Lassie, it is far too easy nowadays for people to try to blame someone else for their own shortsightedness, responsibility is not something that can be given away it has to be borne.
