kids could still use social media on computers and tablets, and there’s no way to stop phones being hand-me-downed or ensure adults don’t just buy phones for their kids as ‘adult’ phones.
By that logic theres no way to stop parents from buying their kid alcohol either, however we still have laws against it… kid gets caught, then parent gets in trouble. Its not a novel idea of enforcement
I’m just saying that embedding software restrictions on phones known to be bought for under 16s isn’t going to be especially effective at stopping them from popping up on social media. It would have some impact, but not substantial.
