I don’t agree. I started using the web as a curious 8 years old. I was pretending to be an adult in order to sign up to forums, chat with people, etc. Yes, I was exposed to porn, gore (remember goatse?) but that didn’t make me dumb or a molester. But nothing beats what I learned thanks to the internet. Endless days spent on programming forums, reading articles on a newborn Wikipedia, etc. Even just talking with older people than me made me learn how to deal with things and life. I don’t think that the internet for a kid is bad per se. I wouldn’t like a blanket ban for kids like the UK. If it was like that when I was a kid, I would probably be a more stupid person. I think that the real bad thing is the stupid phones and apps that give you dopamine rushes.
