Ehehe look how downvoted you are - which literally proves the point.
Humans are a bunch of greedy selfish tribal bastards, aren't we?
Don't worry, I've had similar down voting whenever I've suggested that owning more than one home in a broken housing market shouldn't be allowed.
People make noises about being all in this together but will work against it actually happening, especially Americans (see: your tragic healthcare system).
Actually laughable that in 2026 we could automate most if not all basic human needs to the point that they're free. But you know, we don't.
>Shouldn’t there be a huge market opportunity here for parental control systems
Requires parents to be invested and unlike the OP (appreciate you btw) many parents are not.
No money/use in it unless people actually care enough to invest personal effort into it (which they don't, hence forcing solutions that fuck everybody over, like UK requiring id for adult websites).
Tbf the majority of per individual Internet use is on a phone. Countries other than America exist...plenty of Asian countries where having a phone is far far more common than a laptop let alone a desktop.
It would prove that many, many parents are incapable of being the responsible adults they should be and will just cave to their kids tantrums about their phone being unlocked so they can watch tiktoks for (sometimes more than) 8 hours a day.
Everyone in the UK is now using a vpn for everything because of these "won't somebody please think of the children" smucks. Now let's see if they make good on their end and lock their child's phone...
Lmao no. You cannot use your common sim card for that. It's for an individual and they will cut your service and justifiably so, if they figure out that's what you're using it for.
If you buy a sim card built for that purpose sure, but then you'll be paying...biz prices!
This isn't really that hard to figure out people. So much outrage in comments on this. Self entitlement to the max from people who really haven't lifted a finger to stop the corporate overlords anyway.
So, if I use my SIM card 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, Ill get banned? Doesn’t that seem absurd? The SIM card is enforcing one voice call at a time. If the apartment building has to wait in line to use it, what’s the difference?
If you deployed it in a way that did multiplexing such that multiple users could use it at once, then sure—-Business time. But otherwise…

Probably not - you'll get billed or hit a FUP

The difference is that it is perfectly acceptable to enforce a "no-reselling" or a "no-3rd-party" for services.
I can't think of a single service provider that provides a consumer tier permitting reselling or 3rd-party use.
I can do it pretty easily. The restriction in both cases is so easily overcome it is ridiculous to build your buisness model around it and disrespectful to the customer's intellect.
> it is ridiculous to build your buisness model around it and disrespectful to the customer's intellect
Many things in business are easy to defeat if you’re willing to break the rules. Enforcement is handled through audits, flagging suspicious activity, and investigations.
It’s ridiculous to think that because you can temporarily circumvent a restriction that the rules don’t apply.
I don’t agree with the excessive enforcement used, but there is a lot of tortured logic in this thread trying to argue that the contract terms shouldn’t apply to service usage because the customer doesn’t like the terms.
> TFA most commonly refers to Trifluoroacetic acid, a highly persistent, mobile "forever chemical" (PFAS) found globally in water and soil, widely used in organic chemistry as a solvent.
Don’t know about your parent, but I am certainly on of those “AI can’t make anyone more productive”.
Well, at least I would say that while being a bit hyperbolic. But folks like us who prefer to see claims by corporations trying to sell you stuff backed by behavioral research before we start taking the corporation’s word for it.
But surely your search engine must have given you the answer within your first three clicks, if not, perhaps you should consider a better search engine.
The irony is that web searches for an explanation of something often lead to a discussion thread where the poster is downvoted and berated for daring to ask people instead of Google. And then there's one commenter who actually actually explains the thing you were wondering about.
