Did you have unrestricted internet access as a kid?

My brother plays a lot and he always played that much, so I started playing videogames since i'm 3 or 4 years old, and I have always had an unrestricted internet access.

Yes, the truth is that I could navigate wherever I wanted, without any restrictions.

My devices were searched without my knowledge and the (mostly HTTP) traffic was logged. After about 14 I set strong passwords and used a VPN.

Well, I do not had unrestricted before I went college, I did have internet was not allowed to be on or any entertainment for more than 2 hours. I have strict parents but kind of love them for that because they are understanding and always were helpful.
Those who share kindness, I will repay that payment 10-fold, and Who do injustice, try to hurt the innocent, I will repay that injustice a 1000 times over.

No idea of the network specs for the time, but I know I was using my mom's CISNET desktop, running on a Pentium 4 with like 256MB RAM and a 40GB HDD w/ XP.

My visit to the web in those days would of looked something like this:



All I really did was use Youtube and AOL / whatever was installed because I was probably like 8-9 yrs old at the time.

Agreed 100%, remember the excuse of saying "I have no computer at home :c." or "I can't make it to the library or computer lab"

Yes, I grew up with unrestricted access to 2000's Internet. For what it's worth, I'd say the Internet is worse for kids now than it was back then.
