You dont need a law for this. If you dont want your kid to use or have a smartphone then dont buy them one.
You shouldn't need a law, but the reality is that you simply can not control it. Your kid will interact with other kids and most will have access to a smart phone.
There absolutely needs to be a law of some kind
How about we create some data and privacy laws that benefit everyone and this will benefit now and for their whole life.
Yeah, that would be nice too, but do you honestly see that happening either? I don't. And for that Matter: there are more problems with children having unlimited access to media through irresponsible parents than just data and privacy not being respected.
