I've had several conversations with younger folks about sharing data online. It's not a one time thing - there are plenty of news stories to spark more conversations... sextortion.. revenge porn.. teach about meta data in pics..
teach how you could use three different conversations in which you get one bit of info from each - and put together a pinpoint location of where they will be in the world at what time (school, grade, name) -
ransoms, ransomware - getting people to install malicious exes - there is lots to teach, sounds like you've found a place where it's time to start. Are ip addys showing up in firewalls when social scratching? another location finder.
the kids will always find loopholes to share / chat / pornify things.. we need to teach them the ramifications of doing such.
I recall when a little one I guard was playing minecraft on playstation one day.. I walked in and there was a giant tower, kind of looked liked bezo spaceship.. as I tried to understand what was going on - the other player added some water from the top and used a sign to write the word penis.
I mean - you can try to limit things a bit, but there seems to always be a way to do major things with small tech connecting - I think it's best to teach them it's wrong to cheat / share answers then to try to stop every version of airdrop /bluetooth mosquito ringer - all the things.
best to teach the ramifications of sharing certain details and know some warn words to watch out for then to try to block every social media thing, imho - and there are people who go the other way - disney circle can block a lot - and the amish have just blocked it all.
