Smartphone in high school, not before.
No social media apps on the phone. Parental control (iOS) so need Parent permission before installing apps
At home most/almost every non-professional social media is blocked via pi-hole
I’m not on FB, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok etc. I think this is very very important for the above since kids see that parents are also not on social media. Most people, IMHO, run into trouble when they use it but want to restrict kids.
This mostly worked for a kid who just went to college. Will see if it works for the other.
Edit: have Switch and PS5, but multiplayer internet games are not allowed. Offline games only.
Edit2: I occasionally remote login into computers to tell the kids that I can do that. I think/hope it reduces temptation.
