The internet is not something to blindly trust a kid with. Whether it's youtube, social media, or online video games. It's all well and good to "treat them as individuals with respect" but one has to remember kids are dumb and perhaps more dangerously where the internet is concerned, experimental.

Not everything can be monitored, true, but internet history, account history, account passwords, and parental controls should all be available to and used by a parent.
