The post in February triggered a tidal wave of reaction from parents similarly gripped by anxiety about providing their children with a device they fear will open them up to predators, online bullying, social pressure and harmful content.

That would be so much work.

This feels like something that would be illegal in the EU. I have no idea if it actually is.
