My friend has parental controls for her kids cellphone. She can limit her kids usage of apps.

She also limits their use of the web browser app, where they could sign into Facebook?

Vetting of the app downloads should fall on the app stores.

Vetting of the platform usage should fall on the platform owners.

The app isn’t the problem any more than a web browser is - it’s a dumb front-end for the platform. The platform is the problem.
