  1. I feel like the answer to this problem should be obvious. The reason you don't want a child on social media is because the child is dependent and therefore the caretaker (let's just say parents) are responsible for what the child consumes and what they post as well. Therefore it should be said parents who control when and how the kid accesses social media. Maybe they are ready at age 11, maybe they aren''t ready at age 27 as twitter clearly proves.

  2.  @dafunkmonster  No. First your example? Yes, I agree. It's the parents who should controll wether the child can play or cannot play the slot machine. Realistically speaking this means, that the child under your supervision can "play" the slot machine. (technically you play it). I played it too when I was a child, it was fun. And yes social media is designed to be addictive. I very easily find myself just scrolling through, but I've noticed how disgusting it can be with it's engagement farm. Which means that children simply have to learn about them, IT, Social media and the Internet are here to stay. If you have a child today it will be around 2047 or 48 when she gets her Bsc. degree and enters the workforce. What heck do you think the world will be like by then? All kids have to learn how to handle these and it's their parent's responsibility to teach them. The last point, I have to admit I'm a bit confused it seems to me like you want society controll these things by law, but I do not understand why? I see no point saying "children aren't allowed to use social media" when children have parents to do the same at their own volition.

  3.  @nicobenji0248  You went even farther with overthinking than before. Again, parent's duty to not to be crap and raise the child. Not overly restricting or controlling your kid is still parental control. An overarching "under 18 can't have facebook account" law would A - Be really hard to enforce B - Would not take the child's development into account (Kid A might be completely different than Kid B) and C - Take decisionmaking away from parents, therefore responsibility as well. The only scenario where this makes sense when society is failing so hard that even with these considerations it's a necessity. But by then things would by way too bad anyway.
