TLDR:

Making your kids go without smartphones could be difficult because their friends will most likely have phones and will most likely leave your kid out of events and conversations.

    The more I learn about social media and smart devices the more of a fundamentalist I become about this shit. Even if you're not going to take it away completely limiting your kids to something like no more than an hour a day is just good parenting, plain and simple, because this shit rots your fucking mind the way people used to think that Radio and TV would.

      Dunno if you've checked in on the boomers in your life lately but TV absolutely has worked as advertised. Brains just coming out their ears at this point.

        I mean non-stop daily propaganda will do that regardless of the medium, I just think that mass social media is harmful as a medium regardless of content.
