They shouldn’t, would be my personal opinion.

Children are prone not only to addictive behaviors but to group think, both of which work against them learning to manage their time when they are permitted a constant, immersive distraction.

Go for it! And ban driving under 21 as well. And voting.

But you can still pay taxes. I'm thinking of joining the Democrat party to work for these wonderful ideas.

Not that I support this, but I don’t see why you would think the courts would strike this down anymore than they’ve struck down laws about needing to be 21 to drink, to purchase guns in blue states and now buy tobacco products (which somehow needed a federal law.)

Children should not be free in the same sense that adults can be tolerated to be. That is not “progressive”, for progressivism now demands they should be free, among other things, to mutilate themselves and ruin their lives in an effort to help the perverted get their way in society.
