I don't know. The family I've seen that don't give their kids unrestricted access to the internet have no problem keeping them off of social media.

That they know of. I did a lot of things my parents didn't approve of or know of.

I want to be very clear here:

I'm not talking about kids. I'm saying those kids will grow up, and once they grow up, they will almost certainly be on social media.

If they are not taught about critical thinking, media literacy, and how to recognize manipulations and misinformation while they are still in school, they will be easy prey for all the various kinds of sharks out there.
