This article really struck a chord with me, since I'm increasingly worried about my children growing up in a world that is fundamentally different from the one I grew up in. It's incredibly hard to make sure that children are not confronted with disturbing imagery and all the propaganda that is circulating online without the fully developed critical thinking of an educated adult. How do you go about making sure your children become responsible adults online?

You should really read the article.

It agrees with you in general (and so do I), but the concrete advices are a bit more appropriate for when, inevitably, the kids disobey.

I know you were exaggerating, but humiliating them or resorting to denunciation might just hurt them in the long run.
