I suspect that #parentalcontrols are intentionally designed to make it harder for #parents to take any actions that aren't in the tech company's business interests.

I can’t tell if it’s #BadBadUX because it’s deprioritized internally, “tacked on” at the end, or if it’s deliberate #DarkPatterns to confuse and exasperate parents into complying with their monetization goals.

My experience in #PlayStation, #Roblox, #Android, #iOS, #GooglePlay is so bad, it couldn’t be by accident.

I wonder if #apple is somehow crippling @signalapp #signal messenger on #iphone. Since a few months I've been getting delayed messages delivered (with a correct timestamp). F.e. '37m ago'. Both the message in app on android and Linux receive #ios messages often with delays. I've tried looking at energy settings on the iPhones of friends, but nothing seems off.
