I genuinely think there's a difference between young people having access to the internet, and young people having access to social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
Social media is designed to be addictive. Much of the internet is not. I'm increasingly in favor of banning Facebook and Instagram to under 18s.
There just isn’t much of the internet left outside of social media as far as I can tell
sounds like you’ve been captured and are now projecting that onto kids
That's just not true though, however much it may seem like it.
under 18s arent on facebook, and barely on instagram. that might work for 25-40 year olds though
Replace with TikTok or Snapchat or whatever they are using. Because they are definitely using social media. Maybe you’re playing gotcha at a poor millenial’s out of date examples but the point stands.

+ discord. 90%+ of my sons social media use is private discord servers.
