Kids need both safe online spaces for themselves and safe online spaces where they can interact with anyone.
Remember this post about grocery stores? "If you don't let a toddler in the grocery store because they're noisy, you'll get noisy children who can't behave in the grocery store later. If you don't let them in, then you'll get teenagers [...], then adults"
And don't get me started on how this ties back to the concept of sexual education, we'd be here all day.
Online spaces are not to rely on for the total socialisation of your children, but my god, don't they help them learn how to hold some kind of civilised conversation? Especially when we're always complaining that there's fewer places for them to hang out in in real life?
