Good for you trying to take care of your children. I am not currently a parent, so I will have to join the oodles of non-parents telling parents how to raise their kids. You can join the oodles of parents who tell non-parents 'your life is incomplete without children' if you wanna, I don't mind :) If the teen knows the dangers, and you reinforce the methods how the websites manipulate them, and you show the teen the studies that use of social media tends to affect body image and make one compare oneself with the 1% of the entire world vs his actual peers, then I would let that teen make the decision on which social media to use. With some caveats that you highly recommend using de-algorithmized views where possible. IDK if Facebook still enables a Chronological News Feed or not, but if it does, highly upsell that, disable like counts, mute listings of retweets, "XYZ liked", unfollow default subreddits etc.
