I would be interested, but the amount of paternalism is disgusting.

No browser? I'm an adult; if I want to search something on the net that I forgot (when was that event?), that's my f'ing right. Don't try to patronize me.

They sabotage themselves by trying to teach you "to be a better person".

No social media or internet browsering for you, young man! Now do your homework. ๐Ÿ™„

And then they add WhatsApp?

Yeah, I really fail to see why on earth WhatsApp is there.. Then Signal, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat and idk, OG Wickr should be there too and hey, Instagram has it's DMs and some people use their Instagram DMs as their messenger app so hey, add that shit in too!
