How do I opt-out my young child, who is part of a generation that if they don't opt-in are subject to intense social stigma? I mean I know how the mechanics work, but we are talking about applying "old curmudgeon who doesn't know modern life" views on a new generation. I don't think you succeed here (I am not weighing in on whether or not we SHOULD do this btw) without going all-in.

We're long past mere social stigma; even before coronavirus, school classes used WhatsApp for coordination, home assignments, exam reads, etc.

Modern life is not all about being part of social media. Thanks to social media younger generation now are more depressive than ever.
