> In an attempt to not deliberately misinterpret you, […] Kids need access to YouTube in order to talk to their family?

Your attempt has failed; obviously I’m not taking about YouTube, but about things like WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, Instagram, and other social media which families actually use to talk to each other on a dialy basis.

Perhaps you don’t use these, but most of the world population uses some of these (or something similar) to keep in touch with family and friends.

Heck, even when I was a teen (before smartphones) I kept in touch with friends over social media. We’d even organise meeting up through it.
