YouTube's CEO limits his kids' social media use – other tech bosses do the same

It’s not just about limiting - why don’t these people make it easier on the apps themselves to do it? We know why.

It’s more convenient to use Apple’s parental control feature because you can set limits in one place.

My kid found work arounds for that. For example she reset the ipad's clock to give herself more time. It really is like a drug to these children and they will lash out at you if you take it away.

If you are HN you know how to RTFM, I guess.

The Fix: Lock it Down:

Go to Settings > Screen Time.

Tap Turn On Screen Time (if not already on) and set it up for your child.

Tap Use Screen Time Passcode and create a passcode that the child doesn't know.

Go to Content & Privacy Restrictions (under Screen Time) and turn it on.

Tap Allowed Apps (to disable camera/other apps if needed) and Change Restrictions.

Under Content & Privacy Restrictions, find Date & Time Changes and set it to Don't Allow Changes or Require Password.

Yeah I just took it away from her and she no longer lashes out at me like a crack addict trying to bargain for her fix, that's been a much better move for both of us I've found.
