The solution is parenting, period. Do not give your kid an Internet-connected device before they are ready for it.

Homework requires internet-connected devices (I guess you can semi-supervise that, but it becomes harder as they become older as you don't want to sit there watching them do all their homework).

There is also a cost socially, which is hard to navigate as a parent. If everybody is talking about minecraft every break and playing it together in the evenings, then it's hard for them if they haven't even seen the game.

    I see an opportunity for much more reasonable legislation since this is a thing that the gov already controls.
