To be fair, underage sex is not quite equivalent to underage people having social media.
The other poster's "discrimination" argument is kind of stretching it, but I feel like the core of the issue is that social media has a lot of positive aspects, and we should at least consider the relative significance of positive and negative effects of social media before banning it altogether.
How much do kids lose by not being able to communicate through social media? Is it more or less than how much they gain from such protection?

I would assume the loss of social media for children would be absolutely disastrous. We need to find other ways of dealing with the downside, instead of banning them from using it.
