[–] ulkesh@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago Given the context, it seems to make sense that they mean it’s a bad idea to withhold smartphones from children in such a situation. I would argue that they don’t need a smartphone specifically, but some means of external communication (a prepaid normal flip phone, for example). permalink fedilink source parent
