Are parents going to deny their kids access to social media? Among the parents I know, none of them do this even if they admit it's probably bad for their kids. The social pressure from the kids' peers is the number one reason they give: their kids will be left out, and social alienation is viewed as worse than social media. Perhaps a coordinated effort would make a difference, I don't know. I'm skeptical.
Despite saying lawmakers are "paying attention", there's no talk of regulation in this article, so presumably a voluntary effort on the part of parents is the only actionable plan they are ready to discuss. As the article notes, social products are not de facto designed to keep kids out, and have not done a good job of it so far, so I am also skeptical they will improve in the future without any legal pressure.
