She’s right. I mean it bombards impressionable teenagers with a supercharged version of peer pressure.
I read an interesting article about how girl’s self-esteem is giganitcally undermined by the likes of instagram, as they are constantly bombarded with the illusion of a “perfect beauty standard”

It’s not the devices fault, it’s the parents who give them the iPads and iPhones in the case of kids under 12.
As for teens, it’s hard to dictate what they see/do so just talking to them about issues/things online makes a lot of difference.

Its not so much the devices themselves but more so that they’re made with the intention of being addictive. Companies go out of their way to hire experts that know what’s addictive to put into phones. That’s why every social media app has short story sections now and why YouTube opens up to short stories first instead of the home page like it used to. They’re going out of their way to throw addiction into the users face.
Phones didnt have this problem when they weren’t “smart’.

It’s not as bad as opinionated old people getting access to social media where they can scream into the void how everything was better before
