The Internet lets you easily reach the whole world. I don’t understand why any parent would up and go “yes, my toddler should definitely be wandering the breadth of the world alone at this age”. Geographical proximity doesn’t really apply online - “I let them off in a nice neighborhood” doesn’t count for anything when everything is a few clicks away from everything else. (Given societal expectations for helicoptering, it’s extra weird that people expect to be utterly hands-off in the Wired.)

The TL;DR for me is “yeah, the Internet has some sketch stuff still, maybe try, I don’t know, parenting – rather than trying to hand that responsibility off to YouTube”.
