3 years old is far too young --- I can only assume they don't think it through, or aren't particularly aware about the risks associated with the Internet. I reflect often about my own upbringing and how it affects my perception of the Internet. My parents always stressed safe use of the Internet, they checked up on my Internet use often. But, as added context, I was 8 years old when I started using the Internet to research for my school assignments. Over the years I used it more and more, gradually... And then I look at children these days using smartphones when they are only 3 years old, and the parents who let them do that unsupervised. And I can only find that incredibly irresponsible.
