Good in theory, but impractical. It would be like keeping your kid from going to the drive-in in the 60's or Mall in the 90's. Despite its downsides and detriments, social media is an important part of socialization for today's youth. The only way to get your kid off social media without developmentally stunting them, would be if EVERYONE got off social media. Which we ALL know is never going to happen.
You missed my entire point. Denying your child social media, for all its negatives, would do more harm than good as it would stunt their social development.
Edit: Every single one of you downvoting me are going to be terrible parents, and your children are going to hate you. You may think you're "helping" them, but you're really not.
Edit2: I'd also like to challenge the credibility of "studies" that determined social media is detrimental as such studies were most likely performed by soft minded leftists. However as I'm coming to learn most people here are as equally soft minded, and I'm no longer surprised the country is turning to shit. So I guess it really doesn't matter.
No it wouldn't. It would only stunt their social MEDIA development not their social development. Developing worthy and valuable social skills can only come from being physically together in person with people (not computers) and actually doing things together. Not by posting pictures and words on the Internet.
There is plenty of social development to be had in the real world. We thrived and interacted with one another just fine before the advent of social media. There’s no RDA standards that must be followed to avoid stunting of growth, in fact it’s the opposite. Social media creates a false self that children wrongly believe they must live up to. Check out this podcast on that subject.
That's ridiculous. Social development was always the thing touted as homeschoolers failing--guess what, homeschooled children are far ahead more socially developed because they have the skills to interact properly with any age. Homeschoolers... FTW.
And social media is unnecessary.
Yup. This is how you create leftists. In their eyes its just a fun app to make videos with your friends. Better to inform them about why they shouldnt use the app, and monitor what they do there, and if they do stupid shit thats out the line, then you deny them to use it. If you're 'punishing' them when they havent done anything wrong, they start resenting
Get your kids off all social media if possible.
No phones till 18. Save your kids childhoods.

Yeah, but today’s dads can block urls on their firewalls at home.

I formulated my own Maxim (I'll be honest it probably already is some kind of Chinese Proverb or some shit based on how wise it sounds)
Don't tell them not to use it, tell them how to use it.
"It" in this case being phones and "them" being your kids.
This phrase seems to be of common logic and I think would greatly improve your arguments on this matter.
Can't compare it to those things. The influence is much more concentrated and last for 24/7 drive in last 2 hours.
