While this article has some good points, it really is sad, and kind of ironic, that the first paragraph of it is bullshit clickbait that completely undermines the rest of the text.

A tale as old as time. Banning media you don't like is a lot easier than parenting your children.
...if you think delivery is too expensive, maybe don't get your food delivered, then? Just a thought.
Any game featuring most kinds of animal, including people, is evidence that sex occurred. We should ban those too.
"and the word 'dog' with the word 'son'."
Are movies and TV shows really accurate when it comes to American attitudes towards cars? I remember watching something where a character lamented how old their 5-year-old car was. This simply does not compute to me. My mortgage is less than the equivalent of $1000 USD a month - I'd much rather have an "old" car.

A few years ago I got a bike again in the hopes that using it would improve my health. Despite still living in the same city I now felt so unsafe on the road that I sold it after a few months.
I work in ecommerce, so the answer is "ours". I get far too many calls saying "Do you sell x", or "How much is y", and because of how terrible our website's search function is, I can't just say "use the fucking website, that's what it's there for" like I desperately want to.

It really depends how basic and how "general public" we're talking. At work I've had multiple people email me their credit card details in plaintext. That might fall into the "beyond help" category.
A few points I think are important:
Use an adblocker
Use a password manager
Don't connect things to the internet that don't need to be connected to the internet
If it needs to be connected to the internet, keep it up-to-date
I think that covers the basics without impacting convenience too much. While I personally think that your TV is something that doesn't need to be connected to the internet, I imagine most laypeople wouldn't agree with me and do it anyway.
