Don't think so. Havent you met kids feeling shit because of social media? It's everywhere.
Maybe people feel like shit cause the planet is being destroyed by a bunch of rich assholes?
I don't think banning this knowledge from kids is going to help.
Kids are not looking for that knowledge, I think you know that. Planet is being destroyed, yes, but nothing you can do about it by using your phone.
Meanwhile my kids and all their classmates seem friendlier and more mentally healthier than I remember school age being. It's all anecdotal. I'm always surprised at certain ages how some of these kids don't allow bullying, and aren't concerned with stupid relationship shit that I remember 20-30 years ago. It's interesting.
I also know shitloads of adults depressed from Doom scrolling all day.
Your gross generalizations aren't reality.
I've only seen kids feeling like shit because of social media, myself
