Our kids didn't get social media until they were 16 and life continued.
We don't let kids drive until 16 and smoke or drink until 18.
This just seems down right reasonable.
What is the case for allowing them to have it before 16?

The question is how the laws are enforced.
The driving, smoking, and drinking laws are enforced outside the home. Everyone has to prove their age at the DMV to get a license and at commercial establishments to buy cigarettes and alcohol.
The only way to enforce the social media law age minimum is to force everyone to show their ID just to use the internet, even from their own home. That seems more Orwellian to me.
