I can certainly believe that this is the case.

I've just been listening to the former CEO's
of Instagram & Twitter.

The key point from the Instagram guy was that at the time he was solely interested in increasing the amount of time on Instagram, but that he regrets this now.

The key points from the Twitter guy was that he thinks that it's relatively easy for children to mislead their parents, so his own children are not allowed smartphones. They are allowed to use his & his wife's in the home, but are closely monitored.
