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

It could even help their social development, by forcing them to interact with people in real life!

Pick one.
Yup, but not every parent shares that same sentiment, so you're kid is just gonna be out of the loop and end up social outcast.
No one wants to hangout with the weird kid who's helicopter parents wont even let him use normal technology
