they are going to be very inadapted when they end up in college or later. this is also restricting them from career opportunities, e.g. community & socials management etc. I know people who flat-out say that they wouldn't trust someone with no social media presence.

The people you’re describing are called morons. I don’t want my kids to work for morons.

That hasn’t been my experience. We have a 25 year old, 23 year old, and 21 year old that had absolutely no problems adapting to college.

I have no social media presence and it has never affected me in the slightest.

I've known people who say this. Trust me: They're not worth associating with. Most/all have unhealthy social problems. And none have worthwhile positives that you'd miss out on by not being part of their circle.
