No, no desire limit his music time. Sorry I probably didn't explain enough. As much as I dislike Google we still use YouTube Music and thus my kids use it too. Like I said on their PC I have them locked down as far as searches screen time etc. The issue I see with a mobile device is that it will come with the Google sweet which includes chrome. I have no idea how to limit searches, game time etc on a mobile device. So I am asking for guidance on how to do exactly that. Does that make more sense?

If I were giving my kids a general purpose, Internet-enabled device but only wanted them to use a single service, I'd probably use MAC address filtering on my router to restrict those devices to whatever Google/YouTube domains are required. (And don't get cell service for them, obviously.) If you block the Play store and HTTP traffic it's going to take some ingenuity to misuse the device.

At the very worst that ingenuity will be highly educational. Most of the foundational stuff I know about computers I got from hacking around trying to circumvent home/school access restrictions.

Thanks for the suggestion! Problem is he wants to take it out of the house. At first glance I think Google Link will work for me.

So part of my son's monthly to do list from his preschool is a family movie night and he chose this animated movie called Strange World on Disney Plus. The movie starts by telling three back story of this rugged guy that's an explorer, always wanting to discover someplace new. He had a weakling son that seems to fail more often than not, but discovers electric for his village while out exploring with his father. PS - The father disappears after walking away on that same adventure to continue exploring.

Then the movie jumps 25 years in the future, and the kid is now the village chief or mayor. And is married to a dumpy black woman. They have a son and set up a decent life for themselves. Then the son is gay for... reasons. Fuck this shit, I'm out. I'm on my phone and I don't know how to leave the #EatShitDieFaggit, but I really want to.

Yeah dude don’t watch anything new on Disney+. Pretty much everything they’ve made for Disney+ is racist, pro-gay/trans, feminist, trash. Cancel that shit and review everything from Disney before you let him watch it.
