Parents do have quite a bit of control, if they are willing to enforce
it, and...parent.

I have two children, at the age where they are now online, and they
don't have social media accounts.  They understand the risks because we
drummed it into them from very early on.

The Australian social media ban is specifically targeted at my childrens
age demographic but I consider it nevertheless an over-reach.  *I* can
ban them from Social Media myself.
