GitHub, hahah. Teenagers these days. The government must be concerned about the psychosocial harm caused by unaccepted pull request.

That's the only thing on the list that has reason to be restricted lol the rest should be parental discretion

Even so the police should detect crime and prove then punish.

Allowing lazy cops to do collective punishment without evidence is risky.

That said I'd happily ban all those webshites for all people, not just kids. But that's probably why I'd never be granted a democratic mandate.

Police have no role to play in punishing anything
