What are the best sites to block for kids safely?

Which categories or specific websites do experts commonly recommend blocking for children, and how can parents create a sensible blocklist that balances safety with educational access?

Good practical question. I start by blocking categories like adult content, gambling, and violence. Also block social media if it’s distracting—I did that for my son. For full control and activity reports, mSpy lets you manage sites directly from your phone.

“Sensible blocklist” is code for “overly restrictive nanny state,” isn’t it? Experts recommend what - blanket bans on anything remotely fun? How about we talk about teaching critical thinking instead of just slapping filters on everything?

Block adult content and social media presets—most apps have 'em ready to go. Whitelist school sites so research still works, set it up during my coffee break, done!
