I see the social elements as the problem. You can chose to limit what your kids do, but if all others do, it may isolate them.

Yeah, I have the same thoughts, besides Facebook.

My kid is allowed to play but with bots for now, ppl are too toxic.

I'll definitely let them have online game accounts. I'll watch out what do they do though.

@Artemix Also, you learn nothing from Facebook. It's just an instant gratification "look at my pancake" circle jerk.

Meanwhile games can actually be good for development. Take Minecraft for example

I'll just be their gaming buddy and bond with them while observing their behavior.

I do wonder how the second generation of gamers will behave and what sort of gaming era they'll be dealing with if we're the ones guiding them.

Facebook is far more dangerous than any online game out there.

The internet doesn't create the little monsters, it just exposes them.

For me it'd be the other way round. I'd ban facebook from their phones and block it in my home network. Don't care about the rest, since it has become part of our reality, you can't shield them from that.
