found out she was looking at porn around that age. she was initially doing regular cartoons on youtube, which lead to betty boop, which lead to some other shit.

I basically told her she wasn't in trouble. also that I'm not trying to stop you from being curious. explained to her that she'll have plenty of time later in life to explore things, but that her time on the computer should be for school work. so don't waste this time in your life.

it wasn't an overnight success lol. she would still look and try to hide/delete history, etc. but each time I caught it, it allowed me to have talks with her. eventually she chilled.

started putting limits on screen times and just being over her shoulder more. I'm not really a fan of automated systems to block things. It's part lazy, but automation stifles conversation. when this stuff happens, discussions need to follow. I wouldn't know what her viewing habits were or how they changed if my wife or I didn't see it.

its not the end of the world. they're no diff than us at that age. access is definitely different. its really a time/place issue.
