> Now, you have no idea what ads or manipulative dark patterns your kids/teens are getting on their phone.

I’m not sure about teens. But I’m present when my kid plays games and he despises ads and micro transactions as much as I do. He’s also not allowed to buy anything so he’s more selective about what games to play (a few ones that we have subscriptions for)

Sure but for everyone like you there's 100 parents who leave their kids unsupervised with tablets and phones.
