You went to a school where they had no controls over what you could and couldn’t access?

My school was blocking harmful content on their computers when i was there in the mid to late 2000s.

When i got home i had something called CyberSitter on my computer in my room that sent logs of all my internet usage as reports to my dad.

It took me until 16 when i went out and bought my own computer with my own money before i had “unfettered” access to the internet.

Were these tools impenetrable fortresses? no, of course not. but they were a damn sight better than the ISP level blocks and legislating the “good” companies out of existence that the UK (and others) Government is currently engaged in.

Not that any of this is really about “protecting kids” anyway
