I don't think that's a winnable fight. All this stuff about keeping young people of social media's a farce. It's a trojan horse for blanket surveillance and they don't actually want them off electronics. They want to funnel them into spaces that are sanitized and censored. To minimize their exposure to anything that isn't propaganda during their formative years. Public "education" for all, by force.

I'd rather they have unrestricted access to other people's ideas, even if it meant unrestricted device access. Because that's the only exposure they're going to get to anything that questions what they're fed by the media. If I thought there was the slightest chance that reduced usage would return to the, "go outside and play," I'd be there with you. But it's not coming back. They're going to kick them off of social media and try to replace it with passive media. Just watch the slop. You're not legally mature enough to access any conversation where it's being called slop. They will struggle to stop in-person conversations at schools. They'd love to isolate the students from one another, but remote has the risk of parents seeing what they're teaching. I wonder if there will be an eventual push for mandatory individual learning, but only government school sites.

The genie's not going back in the bottle. Might as well fight to keep it as accessible, open, and decentralized as possible instead.
