I find the idea of anyone under 12 having a mobile phone absolutely ridiculous tbh.

iPads iPods kindles you can't move without some device that will get you online, you can be the best parent in the world, you can't protect them from their friends parents ignorance or liberal views or just can't be arsed parenting

You could if there was a law making basic internet safety for children a compulsary parental/legal requirement. That sounds way more logical than this thing you're supporting. This thing you're supporting wont even work lol, itll just needlessly piss people off and make them paranoid about May watching over them with her evil lizard eyes.

There are basic things that can be done to prevent a child from viewing adult content.

Any 8 year old that purposely looks to hack into and search for pornography can't have had good parenting. :/

Teenager ok. But an 8 year old having the knowledge or desire for porn isn't normal imo. And there are things to prevent "accidentally" stumbling into it.

You can be innocently searching for something and boom there it is

I did say there are things for accidents.

And accidents in my experience lead to things akin to the page 3 of the sun which isn't going to scar anyone for life.

For hard-core porn to pop up either a) the software you're using is useless and not worth the money paid or b) someone was actively searching for it. But I don't think b would apply to the majority of 8 year olds.
