This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
My thoughts exactly.
I will say, however, that I'm generally against content filtering. My kids know the rules, and they know if they violate them, they lose device privileges. Simple as that. If I put parental controls on, they'll just circumvent them (and I'll teach them how to if they ask). I know because I was a kid and constantly got around stupid content filters at school.
Either I trust them with the device, or I don't, no half-measures. For example:
That's it. I generally allow them to use devices unsupervised, though in a public area so I can walk over and check on them. I intend to give them their own devices as they get older (i.e. they'll set their own passwords). But if they violate my trust, it's their fault, not the content filter's, and they lose privileges.
