Hell, other than DU, I've banned social media from my own personal universe.

Possibly because I'm a paranoid lunatic who really doesn't want vile mega-corporations watching me or leading me down the garden path into their political and consumerist dystopias.

I definitely wouldn't want that for my own children, but they were not of the social media generation. They just wanted simple cell phones in high school because "everybody has one!" By the time they got their own cell phones that wasn't entirely true. There were still a lot of parents in our neighborhood who couldn't afford cell phones for themselves, let alone their children.
