> because …, there is no longer any culture of letting kids go out and socialise
Are you frakking kidding me? We can bring that back. That’s no reason to allow social media + mobile phones to poison society and youth.

My wife is and was horrified by this. She was shuttled to other kids houses, and never allowed to go off on their own until deep into her teens.
Objectively kids are much much safer now, however they are not allowed freedom outside. Most of this is because of safety (where are they, are they being abused, have they been run over, are they in a gang, etc etc)
So _you_ as a parent need to entertain them
Giving your kid "the internet" shuts them up, and means you can do other things. However that comes with a bunch of risks that most parents aren't aware of.
