My 10-15 year old self would hate you. Most of what I even remember about being that age from my involvement in various online communities. I didn't have many friends at school so I talked to people in games and chat instead. To suggest that my parents should have to be there to "supervise" me is absurd. To some extent they tried to do this, and I resented it and I'm certain that it did no good at all. Not least because sanitizing access to the internet is impossible and if I wanted to get past a restriction of any kind I found a way. Your kids talk to each other at school without parents going over their conversations to make sure everything is kosher. Interacting online isn't any different, as long as they know not to give out their physical location publicly or to strangers. Even more so these days, kids are digital natives. Cutting them off from the network is like giving them a lobotomy. They'll be well behaved, obedient, sessile outcasts. Anyway, interacting online is so little like running free on the highway that it's difficult to even find a foothold to frame a counter-argument. It's a non sequitur.
