What about a system where the entire session is recorded in video format for the parent to review later?
Do me a favor and explain how that would work, assuming 24 hours in a day.
Screen isn't on the whole time, you can fast forward, etc. Not that I think it's healthy to be spying on what your kids do.
We don't let our kids speak to strangers in the park unless we are in earshot.
They still would have complete privacy in face-to-face interactions with actual friends.
Yeah, that's the thing, those apps don't really give kids the sort of privacy we enjoyed as kids. It's probably better to limit access to safe apps or something like that, depending on age.

How many parents do you imagine are going to actually do this? Free time is a resource most parents rarely have. It's the reason a smartphone ends up in a child's hands: to keep them occupied.
Doesn’t seem like it would solve the core problem of internet scrolling being bad for the brain.
