    Is it the phone, or the social media? The article only really mentions social media as the real issue.

    Subsequently, does that mean social media on a computer is 100% A-OK? (this is a mobile phone carrier so it makes sense that they’d only focus on phones)

      The article specifically mentions smartphones. Which smartphone can’t access social media?

      Computer is not necessarily “A-OK” but theyre far less likely to carry them around and be on them all day.

        All smartphones can access social media. But they also have some really good (mostly intuitive) parental controls. So if you don’t want you kid on Facebook just block it.

        What does it matter if the child is on a phone all day va on a computer all day? Sure you can’t really do that in class, but what about the other 16 hours of the day?
