 How about this novel idea: if you are concerned about sOciAL meDiA for your kids, maybe just control their access to devices.
Be a parent. The devices, the internet, are all a tools. I wont hand my child a sharp tool until hes ready to use it.

You wouldnt hand them an axe till they could use it safely.
 You wouldnt give them a lighter till you knew they wouldnt burn the city down.
Scissors arent safe if you cant help but impulsively run everywhere.

Obviously the government has ulterior nefarious motives here, but the parents that are screeching for this crap are just the lowest of the low in my book.
