I was wondering how they expected to do this.

Are they assuming that all access to social media will be via a mobile 
phone or tablet?

I can't see on device enforcement working for a PC.
Even if Apple and Microsoft cave, there are older versions of Windows and 
a whole raft of Linux distributions.

Perhaps I should hang onto my stock of non W10 compatible devices to 
install Linux (or other Unix-a-like) to rent out to mid-teens to stay 
connected.

Cheers
