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.

Although I hate social media with a passion and would be fine if the government banned it outright, I don’t think this is a fair reading.

Do toy manufacturers let their kids play with their toys 24 hours a day and not go outside or do homework? Video game devs? Parents are supposed to help their kids limit their time in everything.

I bet toy manufacturers have never had to think: "is this toy bad for my child's development?"

There are actually some pretty big risks especially in terms of like motor development, and considering now they’re adding a splash of AI to everything and a ton of toys have screens, well.

Is any YouTube bad for their child's development? Or just spending large amounts of time on it with no adult supervision?
