Yeah, the son wants to communicate with his friends and he wants his son to be offline? Does he read the stuff he writes??
Because its contextual; he wants his son to communicate; theres nothing wrong with kids talking to adults online: my childhood was largely spent price gouging dumb adults on Puzzle Pirates when I was 8, 9 years old: learnt a tonne about micro economics.
There is however a big issue of bad actors abusing unvetted channels.
I’m sure it’s crazy difficult to raise a son today anyway, but “if everybody jumped off a bridge” is always true.
