First, great that you're able to do that. I support that fully and hope to do the same. However, I'm sure there are a lot of parents that wish they could do something like that but circumstances prevent it. E.g. lack of awareness, local societal pressure, or the need for it (e.g. bus ticket apps)
> No amount of regulation outside of an outright ban is going to make this go away.
How about regulation mandating voluntary parental controls mechanisms on social media platforms or devices?
Or how about regulation mandating that companies share certain aggregate usage data to get insight into the scope of the issue so that ultimately parents and society can be better informed of the damage being caused?
Or regulations about phones at school so that teachers and schools have effective tools (e.g. parentally consented confiscations).
Sure, these regulations may not make this go away but it's high time that we take a closer look at the consequences of social media and smartphone use that has exploded the last ~15 years. Not to mention this is the EU. I think you'd find broad support in the populace here for at least taking a stab at the issue.
