Sorry Tom ... Kids are actively accessing internet contents that is harmful - algorithms can be used to help protect them and the families of children that have taken their own lives are demanding changes in the way children are allowed access to these different apps. How much duty of care do the social media sites have to their service users? Do you think changes will happen?
I personally think it is frightening the about of content children have access to, which includes things like suicide sites on the dark web.
Yep its all over the new! |

I think we give our kids a phone they never even needed and then we complain that they have a phone and use a phone.
Kids don’t need phones! Phones are potential portable speedophiles! I learned this when an adult man with a username of Kinky Daddy was trying to message my daughter who was 11 at the time on a “children’s game”  
Sad times!

As much as I think social media has to play their part, so do the parents. Too many just give their kids a phone to keep them busy while the parents are on theirs. |

There's primary age kids with phones. They don't need them.
Kids that take their phone to bed.
Kids that play online games and talk to strangers.
It's not hard as a parent to control any of that. |
