That’s what I mean by adding legislation to make it automatic.

If it’s a kids device, then it should just block social media as required by the law. I agree that right now it’s difficult to set up - but this is a choice from Apple and Google. Just mandate sensible defaults.

A hardware block is much more effective than anything else that can be faked.

Just have the phone ask ‘is this a phone for a child’ and if you select ‘yes’ then it’s done.
