Demand Tech Giants: Provide a Simple, Free Parental Control App Across All Devices


Demand Tech Giants: Provide a Simple, Free Parental Control App Across All Devices
The Issue
Parents shouldn't need to be tech experts or out of pocket to keep their kids safe online.
We're calling on major technology companies—Apple, Google, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft, and others—to develop a simple, free, universal parental control system that works seamlessly across all devices: smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, and computers.
If a device is marketed for or used by children under 18, it should come with:
- A built-in, easy-to-use app that doesn’t require downloads or setup from scratch
- Automatically included on every relevant device at purchase
- Free and cross-platform—no confusing subscriptions, no complicated syncing
- Basic tools like screen time limits, content filtering, app approvals, and location tracking
- One dashboard to manage all family devices, regardless of brand
No more hours spent digging through hidden settings, creating multiple logins, or figuring out different systems for different platforms.
This isn’t about restricting kids—it’s about giving parents peace of mind and practical tools to guide healthy digital use in a world full of distractions.
If you agree that parental controls should be easy, free, and automatically available—sign this petition. Let’s hold tech companies accountable.
