Australia, the EU and India are each drawing their own line on under-16 social media access. Every one of them runs into the same gap: a restriction enforced on one device is not enforced at all. The Conscious Internet Data Initiative proposes the household-level infrastructure that closes it, wherever the line is drawn.
One supply comes into your home. Today, nobody can see how it splits across devices, or stop a restriction being bypassed by simply picking up a different screen. The proposal gives every household its own set of valves.
Households pay for internet they cannot see across their devices. Platforms are engineered to exploit that invisibility.
Every device-level restriction is bypassed the moment a child picks up a different screen. Every existing parental control is temporary.
Working from home professionals and home schooling families compete with passive entertainment for the same invisible pool.
