I agree that there's a balance to the struck. I think what makes it hard is that whether to monitor your child's electronics is a binary decision: You either do it or you don't. It's impossible to grant them some measure of privacy and protect them from troomers.
I absolutely agree, especially in today's clownworld I would have a VERY difficult time grappling with this. Though I still think the best chance a parent has is to keep those lines of communication open and honest, with a reasonably light but fair measure of feedback.
Far easier said than done, and I think it's safe to say that some leftist parents have gone to the point of being way too permissive.
Also, to add, that sometimes, as a parent, you do have to eventually throw in the towel and acknowledge that maybe you've done everything you can. And then you have to reassess and decide how to play things out. Maybe letting the kid sink or swim on their own. Situations vary, as do how things can play out.
Not that I'm a parent myself, but they're some questions I've given some thought over the years.
