My kids run Arch linux on their desktops. I won’t let them use a closed source foreign adware/spyware operating system that doesn’t give full control of hardware on principle. So operating system restrictions are out of the question for me.

My kids have zero curiosity or interest in social media outside of youtube where they mostly watch really cool stuff which I support or if I think content is low quality it is something we discuss.

I am very content not to engage in social media if age verification proves too intrusive. Its a time waster for me and increasingly I feel like I am responding to prompts to train corporate AIs to replace employees, creatives etc. The human aspect of it all is getting lost. I think we need to learn how to live offline more.
