i recently came across Google’s ‘family-link’ and iphone’s ‘Screen time’. seems this would be more effective? these aim to lock your child’s phone so that they cant install any new app without permission. feature also include only allowing the web-browsers on your child’s phone (and phone-wide, i believe) to access websites that you approve of (using a ‘white-listing’ process).

i still think it’s abhorent of the PM to mutter those melon comments. And Japan is somehow showing themselves as weak to consider the comment a non-issue.
