MODERATORS
As a 1998 who had access to the internet during its wildest peak with no parental control at all (had internet since I was 10 years old), I do not agree with ANY parental control. Your kid is going to stumble upon these topics anyway, sooner or later, internet or real life.
Instead of preventing it - monitor it, and make sure you discuss it with them. Some years from now on, you will lose whole control over them, and then they won't be easily persuaded.
Censorship creates people that are easily manipulated - no matter what your intentions are.
What years do you think we're the internet's wildest peak?
The times just before social media. Internet was just modern enough to serve memes to thousands of users, yet it wasn't treated as serious as now. It was literally wild west of digital world.
