Wow, now not using Instagram is child abuse? That's a reach by anybody's standard.
Not being in the 'in crowd' is not crippling. It will not result in stunted social skills.
Teach your kid about the dangers. Use the systems in place (ie Screen Time on iOS) to help shape the way they use the technology, and be open and honest about what worries you. If your strategy for helping the kid is predicated on "I told you so"s, I may have found the reason why they keep breaking security systems.
