Personally I do not believe this is a solved problem. Technically maybe, in practice not at all.
It is quite a job juggling the controls of the different companies. Microsoft even has two, one for Xbox one for windows.
And then your child turns 13 and your only option is to take away the devices entirely.
Another thing already discussed is school provided hardware. I know the schools try, but it is usually one person against 300+ students trying to figure out how to game/hack the system. Eg there's no reasonable way where you can expect one person to maintain a YouTube channel whitelist.
I do agree that we might be solving this issue the wrong way, but there is a definitely a problem here.
I think this will be full of similar experiences: Some time ago my wife's cards suddenly got all kinds of charges, clearly not ours. So we call the bank and while they put the blame on us, among other things they said the bank never ever would contact us by SMS and we may have clicked on dodgy links in one of those messages.
Eventually they decide we should replace all our cards. 5 minutes later we get an SMS asking us to call an unknown number to set our PIN code for the new card. It contained at least 5 warning signs as in the author's article.
We call them back asking them what that SMS is about and the only explanation is "That is the good kind of SMS, you can trust it"
(Eventually we did get all stolen money back, but it took a while. We never got a plausible explanation of what may have happened and what we could do to prevent it in the future)
In Europe sleeper trains have become somewhat extinct. High speed rail is just so fast and Ryanair so cheap, they became unprofitable.
However, there seems to be a revival going on. Especially the Australian railway operator (OBB) is investing a lot in their Nightjet trains. Some of the trains allow you to take your car with you.
I'm not sure if they are profitable, but they seem to be fully booked during the summer months (we had to book 2+ months in advance last year)
To understand article 11, I think you should look at the reason it was created: Journalists (and newspapers) are looking for a way to get paid for their articles beyond luring people to their sites with clickbait titles and tons of ads.
They want their own "article version" of Spotify, where they get a set amount for every article read. Obviously that's difficult to implement given the current way of the Internet (= Facebook sharing) and this is their attempt at getting their dream.
Is this a good idea? You could say it may improve news reporting if it was well implemented. Or it could be completely abused. Anyway, looking at it like this, explains some of the legalese in article 11.
If you want some of that back, look into a combination of Boomerang for Gmail (needs a browser extension) and Multiple Inboxes (in advanced tab of gmail settings)
I use Boomerang for all kinds of reminders. For me it works better than Inbox did and it was the reason why I went back to Gmail after trying Inbox for about a month.
I use a multiple inbox pane "is:starred" for pinning emails.
I never really "got" bundles. It was more of an annoyance to me and I prefer manual labeling.
