Odds are your grand kids wouldn't want to be caught on something as uncool as facebook anyway beyond at most a mostly stale profile to throw parents and grandparents off the scent, and might only marginally have any interest for Twitter. To my son, social media means Discord; in general any platform he's likely to find me on is automatically uncool.
Then it’s your responsibility as a parent to monitor their content.
If it’s proven that is bad for them, I would not be so opposed. Same with alcohol or tobacco.

That's a rather useless answer. You should link to some website for further reading or at least take a stab at what sorts of mechanisms cause harm if you really want to post something.
Driving is proven to be very dangerous but our government still encourages us to brave traffic every day.
With regulations, including government issued id and adult supervision of people under a certain age.
Driving in a necessity in most of America, alcohol and tobacco is not.
Driving is not “very dangerous”?
