There is some evidence to suggest that parents may be becoming more restrictive of their children's internet usage, particularly as concerns about online safety and privacy have increased in recent years.

A 2018 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 61% of parents reported using some form of parental controls or monitoring software to restrict their child's online activities. This represents an increase from previous years, and may reflect growing awareness of the potential risks and dangers associated with online activities.

Additionally, some parents may be concerned about the impact of excessive screen time on their children's health and development, and may be implementing restrictions or guidelines on their children's internet usage as a result.

However, it's important to note that not all parents may be equally restrictive in their children's internet usage, and that individual attitudes and behaviors may be influenced by a range of factors, including personal experiences, cultural norms, and access to information and resources.

Overall, while there may be some trends towards increased restriction of children's internet usage, it's important for parents to balance concerns about safety and privacy with the benefits of online activities, and to approach internet use in a thoughtful and informed way.
