Here is the problem I had as a parent back in the 2000's trying to enforce internet rules with your kids. I would find and close their myspace accounts and explain to them why I didn't want them on social media, etc. They would then go to a friends house with parents that didn't give a shit, or know shit about the internet, and then just use their computer to re-sign up for another account and do the things I forbid, or blocked at our home internet. I know that discipline will come up, but some were step kids and having a spouse that is unwilling to back you opens and entirely larger can of worms. My point is, you can try and ban or forbid your kids from the internet, but chances are they will just go somewhere else and do what they want to do where you have no control.
As a child from 2000-2010s my parents didn't give us personal computers and we didn't get phones until high school. I think that worked out pretty well for me.
Obviously you cant remove all chances but if schools ban it and governments regulate it, the occurrence decreases quite a bit.
