Probably the smarter move. Have some age restrictions similar to smoking and alcohol. Although that still might include the side effect of requiring ID for age confirmation. It's also maybe a little late to make this move in general.

Not really.
Banning them from owning smartphones mostly removes them from schools. If you go after the parents you further reduce their presence.
This doesn't stop them from accessing social media on other devices, but it will still massively reduce the amount of time the majority are spending on such sites just by reducing the number of hours they spend with an suitable device in front of them.
Oh I know, I merely meant it might be a little late to restrict smartphones from teenagers through legal force because of how long it's been going on with cell phones in general. It's a lot tougher to enforce that kind of a change once it's already been so thoroughly entrenched.
It would be nice to see happen, but I realistically don't think that it will. And it would've been a lot easier to pull off about a decade ago.
