Sorry, this won't answer your question, but I would just let them use what they want. Unless they were interested in it originally, they will just resent you if anything goes wrong or if they have any trouble.
The thing is, the kid has started realizing the data collection that's going on and it's interested in switching. That's the only reason I'm genuinely pursuing this.
Okay, that makes much more sense if it's the kid's initiative.
Yeah they were talking about a game and then started getting ads for that game. Classic start to the story lol
Same reason I try to get my GF to ditch her iPhone.
How old is the kid?
I disagree. A human Brain is fully grown by the age of 22.
Until then it is the parents duty to make sure they don't get addicted to anything, including phones.
So you think that parental controls should be in place until the age of 22?
It's difficult to generalize, but at least screentime-monitoring should be, so parents can find out if their child is addicted
Counterpoint: a 22-year-old has been a legal adult for 4 years in basically every western country, is allowed to drink alcohol, and can join the military.
Yeah, but those aren't based on scientific data.
We do a lot of stupid shit simply because it's always been that way, when there are options that make more sense according to scientific data. Letting a 18yrs old join a deadly job is not responsible.
Huh. Your kids are smart.
Not my kid but yeah.
