Work, play, procrastinate, and panic.
I remember a biology teacher said this about human folical mites… they’re symbiotic, they live off whatever naturally builds up on hair follicles, and a story of someone whom had a phobia and used a iodine wash to attempt to eradicate mites only to get a bad case of warts that took a long time to go away because the skin environment\biome was so sterile-like.
Mites role in consuming unwanted bacteria\fungi should be considered payment tendered.

I feel like sometimes it has another sinister layer below that as well.

The obvious grammar errors, poor sound and graphics. Yet it was cleared for final broadcast. It’s like “I’ll scam you with this poor app, get away with mocking you, and get paid for it hee hee”.

Switch routing is network hardware that manages only one side\subnet\layer of clients – it’s like one layer of an onion will only ever see the next layer.

Correct. A (non-admistrator) user of a Android cannot disable software. This too also applies to a Windows Limited user.
Pi-Hole + packet inspection + whitelisting + switch routing = universal lockdown against every known form of data obfuscation. This is now a server machine.
Windows has Limited User account, Family Safety in the control panel, and a advanced Firewall. 3rd party Net Nanny was\is a net filtering\alerting software that had visiting-server-side support in case the kid knew how to onion route or obfuscate a url or ip.
Androids can install firewall software like PersonalDNSFilter, AdGuardDNS, or RethinkDNS (the premium version creates for you a custom dns server – no software needed.
Androids have profiles built-in, that act like windows user accounts.
Pi-Hole is a hardware thing you attach to your network.

Yup. This. I’m in California and this is not even a topic. This is not even in the local news. It’s as quiet as: the bullet train project, the gigantic water pipeline for the south project, the drought solution, the power grid solutions, etc. But, boy, the amounts of money that it blew thru.
The best analogy I’ve heard for this, to help understand why it’s a ‘null’ {i need a better word here} topic was said as… "Parents to be doing the parenting, versus, a government doing the parenting and unbeknownst applies it to everyone ". And it is speaking of widely available tools that are already available such as parental controls in routers, devices, etc.
The analogy discounts “little hackers” or minors that intentionally will break laws to get what they want; in which then no “age verification” service (made by anyone) will work in practice.

In California, Meta is proposing data centers back in January. The fight today is currently inside with the states administrators. Senators want to change existing laws and propose loopholes. But local municipalities of desirable data center build sites are fighting back with “not in my backyard” laws.
