As a parent of four, I will do everything in my power to keep my kids in all social networks they want to, including setting up VPNs for them, etc.

I think this is an unhealthy and unhelpful attitude. While I oppose the government banning it, I still believe children should be kept off of social media until they are mature enough, which can vary from child to child. There are plenty of dangers of social media: addiction, AI-generated propaganda, and bullying being a few.

It's your kids though so it's your decision. Just giving my take.

Interesting; do you think it’s a net positive for them?

It absolutely is.

I've got four kids, ranging from 33 to 12. All connected since earliest ages, no restrictions.

All the adult ones grew up good people with successful careers. The youngest kid is growing incredibly smart, he's on track to finish school at least two years earlier - with zero pressure from parents, I swear. (If anything this would be a nuisance, because he's too young for university.)

So yeah. I will keep him connected as well.
