#2I plan to monitor my kids’ internet usage and heavily filter it as well.
Their phones and apps will be restricted until mature enough to make their own decisions.

#3There is literally no reason for anyone under the age of 18 to own a smartphone or have unsupervised use of any internet-connected device. Literally none.

Under 18? Are you serious? You think a 15 year old doesn't deserve a single ounce of independence?
Teens should be educated on proper use of the internet, not prohibited from it without trading away their privacy to parents.

What about a legally emancipated 17 year old?
What about a 16 year old born in a country where the age of consent is 14 and the US’s views on sexuality are considered overbearing and puritanical?

Spoken like somebody who is not under the age of 18 or has anyone who is living in their home.

My 16 years old will be pretty independent. He'll have a car and a motorbike. He'll be able to go out by himself, experience real people. He'll be able to work odd jobs, manage his own money, read whatever books and learn whatever things he wants.
But he won't have a smartphone or unsupervised internet access. Neither provide independence, but shackles to kilotons of the worst quality content humanity has ever created.

#9All the sick shit on the internet was there 20 years ago. It might have been a little more pixellated and lower-resolution, and getting it on a 56kbp modem that gurgled and screamed and tied up the phone line was perhaps a bit tricky to do surreptitiously, but it was there. We turned out fine.
If I did ever put some sort of parental blockers on my children's devices, I'd try to find some half-assed thing like the blockers I learned to go around and through, to give them a challenge.

Absolutely. It’s sad the other comment that equates a smartphone with independence. Infact it is the exact opposite.
