This is an extremely reactionary take.

How the fuck is this Reactionary?

I recognize a threat and I want to avoid my child being exploited.

At one point in history, the car was a new form of technology growing in popularity, and we eventually agreed that kids shouldn't drive.

Ah yes. A phone is a car. Got it.

Also, who tf is exploiting kids because they have a phone? Do you also remove all TVs from your house? What about the radio? Can't have Lady Gaga singing about "poke her face" to my kids! Lol
