Not if we implement mandatory ID internet use and social tracking system. We could introduce it with Elmo, Kermit, and Fozzie, and call it "Sesame Credit"… waka waka!

some would, obviously, but only those that really wanted to, just as some end up buying cigarettes or alcohol.
But that would be a fraction of what it is now

There's a huge difference between actively seeking something vs having it shoved down your throat.
The biggest problem with the social media systems is that they are normalized. Lots of school and government stuff only comes out on Xitter or Facebook. That's horrible.
It's like dealing with a car salesman. If you engage, you've already lost as you have sooooo much less experience than who you are fighting against.
Just like porn? Do you think kids would find a way around it?
