Parents can exercise a great deal of control over their childs' lives, but they are not smarter than teams of Research Psychologists. Teams who go too far in using manipulative UI/UX patterns to hook people on Attention that social media provides.

You make a very good point with regards to powerful teams of Psychologists at big tech. They're near impossible to defeat. Even I as a software engineer knowing full well that I'm being manipulated by some ui dark patterns and algorithmic timelines and therefore sometimes struggle to snap out of the endless scrolling. If I as a full-grown adult have a hard time escaping, I don't think a 10 year old can do much to free themselves from the evil social media sites.
