Partially. There are things we can clearly blame corporations for, and things we can clearly blame parents for.
Social media addiction is something parents need to fix, but corporations are not helping. However, it's not inherently the fault of corporations, just like kids smoking cigs.
I don't blame parents for being overworked, exhausted, and not having the time to devote to their kids due to the factors I mentioned. When costs of living skyrocket and costs of raising kids becomes completely unaffordable, I don't blame parents for working more and more just to put food on the table. They also need their own time to recharge and be able to breadwinners without completely burning out. They aren't completely aware of everything their kids do, or what the cool kids in school are doing (and why their kids want to copy said cool kids). It is the parent's job to educate their kids, yes, but sometimes parents are too late to the party to actually effect change.
I don't blame corporations for acting in their best interests, and the best interests of their shareholders. Businesses have to make money. Not everything in the business world has to be ethical, good for society, or morally just, no matter how much we'd like it to be.
There is no magic bullet, but imposing restrictions on corporations seems to be a good start.
