I wish people pushed for a more targeted approach. This seems like a baby-with-the-bathwater situation. I know it's easier to do that way, but you can do lots of things with your phone apart from social media. For example there's lots of books I read on the phone as a teenager just because of I could easily access them on the go. But on top of that, why limit 1:1 communication? Email? Maps access? Etc. I hate the "screen time" idea personally, because it's generalising way too much. We don't take away "reading time" just because kids could read the wrong thing.
I hope a few places that overreact this way will make it more popular to provide restricted tech experience rather than a full ban.
