ipad babies is perhaps the worst example you couldve picked for this otherwise extremely valid point, and it actively diminishes the message.
children are people and I'm sick of adults pretending they don't deserve to be treated as such, but they also don't know a lot and its our responsibility to teach them. the world wide web in a kids face is actively harming them, and i know this both first and second hand.
i had unrestricted acess to the internet when i was young, and started doing nsfw roleplay when i was like 10.
a friend at the time had semi-restricted acess to the internet, and kept talking to 30yos on discord, because it's easy as hell to hide.
another kid i know right now has heavily restricted access, and the adults in charge keep having to filter out content on YouTube Kids due to disgusting amounts of not-so-subtle sex jokes.
The internet has not, is not, and will not ever be safe for young kids, and any portable device which can use a search engine (even if you think you disabled it) is not safe to give to anyone in elementary.
im not saying to ban everyone under a certain age, or to stop having kid friendly sites, but i am saying that an ipad or phone or whathaveit is not okay. there needs to be a stationary device in it's own space like a family computer, or they need to physically not have the device when they're not in a public room.
the Internet is a knife: it's beautiful, it's a tool, it's a great achievement of humanity, and you absolutely need to be taught how to use it if you want to survive, but until you know how you cannot be trusted with it without someone standing over your shoulder, or else someone (you, most likely,) is gonna get hurt
