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.
