Best age for internet access

What would be the best age to give my future child internet access? I browsed the 'tube since I was ateast like 6 years old and now I have been addicted to porn since 11. I want my child to not find the degenerate shit i found at a young age but also dont want to overprotect them so they know nothing about the world :thinking:

Like locking certain apps/sites, and a limited amount of screentime and you checking up on what your kid does on the internet
I got my first phone and unlimited internet access at 12–13, and it didnt saved that much i would say.
50 years or older

probably 15
never
okay, first off, i'm not a child development expert but i've done my own research on this kinda stuff

from ages 0-3ish, prioritize physical activities like playing outside and with toys and reading. it's fine to let your kid watch age-appropriate content, but try to get it interested in physical activities as early as possible

once your kid reaches like 3½ or 4, then you can start letting it watch tv shows designed for YOUNG children. either don't let it have access to the remote or watch with them. choose good, quality shows like sesame street. shows like bluey or pretty much all of the slop they pump out nowadays will rot its extremely fragile mind. and since you're a soyteen i would recommend soygate content, but make sure to verify that it's kid-friendly and doesn't have 'slot in it or something

your child'll enter kindergarten at age 5, but keep letting your child watch edutainment shows, along with giving it instruction at home, because your school will guaranteed not do a good job at teaching your child. keep teaching them english and math at home. and give them the mindset that learning is something to be cherished, not a chore

once your child starts to get to around second or third grade, you can start weaning it off of baby shows and start letting it watch (still family-friendly) older child shows on nickelodeon or cartoon network. prioritize the oldies-but-goldies like adventure time, looney toons, and old 30-60s' era cartoons from hanna-barbera and disney and what not. a lot of modern stuff like steven universe has epi and tranny propaganda so steer clear.

as it grows older, keep letting it watch more and more mature shows. eventually, and you'll know it when it happens, your child is at a mature enough level to be on the internet. don't put those dumb settings on your phone right away because that'll cause it to hate you. instead, teach it the values of good sleep and only being on devices for so long. if push comes to shove, which it will, then go a little harder. this'll happen usually around 10-11. but always, ALWAYS put content restrictions. block sites that host epi content. ESPECIALLY SITES THAT HAVE FURRY CONTENT. CHILDREN ARE MOST OFTEN EPI'D IF THEY HAVE ACCESS TO FURRY CONTENT.

if you've done everything correctly, it'd be wise to let them off the hook slowly until they are at a reasonable age to start being independent on the internet

my parents basically just threw me to the wolves at age 3 or so which is how i got epi'd at age 7 so don't do that
I would give the kid restricted access and only let them watch stuff you know wont epi them. Also make sure that when you search for videos for your toddler that they arent overstimulating adhd garbage that will slowly ruin their attention span. I would download videos you deem good onto a local device that has no internet access so you know your child isnt accessing anything you didnt approve behind your back.

Block access to all corn, imageboards (except sharty's /qa/ and /soy/ because dey are gemmy), reddit, youtube (youtube kids is fine but there is some EPI), most messaging platforms such as der 'cord. Educational websites and video games are fine as long as you're monitoring what they do.
