Arturo Béjar is simply mistaken: It is parents who in all circumstances have the responsibility for the safety of their children. Moreover, while there are certainly online content (for example, grooming by sexual predators) which uncontroversially pose a risk to the safety of children, in as much as in certain quarters, including large swathes of the tech sector, unpopular ideas are considered "unsafe", letting the views of Meta managers on what is safe for children to see may well supercede and even conflict with the views of the their parents. Meta managers might decide that encouragement to question one's gender identity is safe, while parents disagree. Parents might regard the Catechism of the Catholic Church as safe, while Meta managers might disagree. In a pluralistic society giving parents the tools to protect their children from what they, not some "experts", regard as harmful is the correct approach, at least if one wants to maintain a pluralistic society.
