It is a parenting issue.

As a parent you can only get your children a smartphone when you decide they are old enough, and then iOS and Android have parental control down to app level.

Decent schools also ban phones now as well.

"Decent schools also ban phones now as well."

Yes and decent countries ban social media, because like schools, the countries recognize this is a collective action issue. You get your children a smartphone when it becomes the only way they can connect with their peers. That's my point.
