Have any social media ban proposals tried to define rigorous criteria for which ...

Personally I'd limit access to all platforms that have algorithmic feeds that provide content.

If you need to specifically subscribe to a source (and parents can check your subscriptions via parental controls), it's fine.

And absolutely no posting any content for public consumption, for contacts only.

Example:

- Algorithm provides endless content with zero educational value (Youtube Shorts) - not ok

- Child needs to specifically subscribe to to a content creator (A Minecraft Youtuber, who isn't a shouty toxic merch pusher) - ok

- Child posts pictures of her things to contacts (friends, relatives) - ok

- Child posts content that can be viewed by anyone in the world - not ok

Too vague. Much, much to vague. There's no way to define these items and they won't prevent bullying which is basically text.

I would ban any child-to-child communication, including any text and any child-to-adult communication unless the adult is pre-approved by parents.
