Which is where it fails. Legislating over the people requires the consent of them. Land Rover parents want to locate their kids with their iPhones on GPS. If the poor parents don't care where their kids are why should the rich ones be denied a security device?

Responsible parents wouldn't be allowing 3 year olds onto social media, but may allow a young teen onto it. It's these immature minds that are being contacted by hebophiles, usually for sexual purposes.
Would love to see the stats on grooming (by total strangers) over WhatsApp alone as a percentage of all grooming.
