Comment on Meta’s own research found parental supervision doesn’t really help curb teens’ compulsive social media use

It’s teaching them what’s good to consume or not and how tell the difference by themselves that’s important. Teching them how to think basically. So parenting. Not watching them, not spying on them asking “why that site”. Parental control filters only work for so long, but they help. My experience using parental control however to limit screen time only taught our kid to absolutely maximize whatever screentime she had. So kind of addicted. But, pretty good at telling what’s toxic.
