          Which is why these kinds of bans will always be extremely inconsistent, ineffective and ultimately only harmful to the people who cannot get around the bullshit blocks that the vast majority of kids simply circumvent.

          So the kids with tech savy parents get to learn how to access the internet and get all those benefits, but kids who grow up without techy parents are thrown to the dogs, sounds fair!
