Their point is that despite being the designers of such systems, they prevent their own children from using them. Akin to a drug dealer not consuming what he sells.

I would expect an x-ray technician to limit their kid's time in x-rays.

It doesn't mean kids should never get an x-ray.

Sometimes moderation means complete abstinence but generally not.

could you highlight what in the original article made you think they were banning their kids from social media entirely? or were you trying to explain something else?

The GGP, not the original article, said "they prevent [emp. mine] their kids from using them".
