> It's possible to use a smartphone without social media. Unless you can block all of them, then I don't think so. And blocking them is a game of whack-a-mole, where every time you block one, they find another one. And even if you manage to block them from engaging with social media, a lot of similar "damage" can still be done via read-only sites (e.g. Twitter and Reddit). > It's possible to set up a child's smartphone in such a way that their access to social media is limited if not totally removed. You can't rely on technology to block social media. In addition to the whack-a-mole problem, most parental control integrations are buggy and hackable. My personal experience with Screen Time has been pretty bad. At best, it's very easy to work around, and at worst, it's completely broken. I'm wondering if you may not have teens with phones, as you may have come to the same conclusion yourself otherwise.
