Why this matters:How to recognise this workaround on your side, and what closes it on your side — without telling you how to do the workaround.
Detection
The plan contains only Family Link and no service- or browser-level content settings.
Fix (technical)
Saferinternet.at explicitly states that Family Link does not block or filter inappropriate content. Use the documented layers: operating system, provider, third-party software and app/service settings; verify each relevant layer. [saferinternet-at-technical-controls]
Fix (relational)
Explain that a filter is support for safer exploration, not surveillance or a promise that nothing upsetting will appear.
Residual risk
No single layer covers every service or device.
