    The mainstream tech/software industry was built on abusive tactics and nonfree software. The only thing I can recommend to people is to de-productize their computers and try to use free software whenever possible.

    Even if you control what a child sees/uses on a apple device, you’re still perpetuating the injustice of apple’s products and now setting up that child to use their products in the future. In essence, you’re stripping the child’s software freedom in the end.

    The youth of the generations after us need to be educated on their fundamental software freedoms, and how the loss of those freedoms leads to endangerment.

    You may feel fine forfeitting your software freedom, but it’s an injustice to do that onto others especially preteens and teens.
