Of all the points on which I support children’s rights, their right to own a cell phone is not exactly a priority. I’d say it should be up to the parnts to decide whether their kids should have cell phones - at which point it’s the right of the parents, not the children.

That said I think there might be something broken about how it is solved now - I would probably be in favour of a law banning certain types of software on the phones of children, such as abusive social media or games with microtransactions.

Maybe doing the same for adults wouldn’t hurt.

Yes, but not when the kid is 14 or 15. I think at that age it should be up to them and not their parents.
