There is zero part of growing up that requires access to the internet.
I agree, but unless you don't let kids have friends, they will have access.
my parents tried many times to revoke my access.
The typical workarounds involved a trip to the dump to dig up some godforsaken machine, and maybe stopping by the library to burn an iso. Wireless adapter lacks an antenna? No problem, I'll rig up a coat hanger/paperclip/random piece of wire.
At that point, why do I need to be worried you won't do a suicide challenge?

Follow your logic. If my guardianship tactics to cease you from doing choking challenges persist, am I to blame for your continued workarounds?
I love more so your implications that atomicbocks even has the privilege of getting them an internet accessible router.
Don’t let your kids hang out with those who have parents you don’t know and don’t trust. It has worked for Christian parents for decades and it worked for my lesbian parents growing up in the conservative south.
That's old news. Always online is slowly being pushed even by governments because it's easier to track citizens that way.
