You seem opposed to the idea of parents doing actual parenting.
But for that matter, apparently so do many parents. They’d rather outsource the issue to the government, the operating system, the operator of whatever platform the kids happen to be using, complete strangers, literally anyone but themselves.
Anything to avoid talking to their offspring about porn, violence, drugs or whatever else.

how will the parent do the parenting when the kid can do whatever on the phone given to them when the parent is not around? parental control software is (supposed to be) what it says it on the tin: software that lets the parent to set up limitations on the device.

We already outsource parenting to the government when we send our kids to public school. We send children to complete strangers to be educated because we don’t have time to do it ourselves. Are you opposed to school too?
