I know this is for children but I want this.

I'd absolutely LOVE to have a flip-phone again. I don't need a tiny computer to carry around in my pocket.

Its beacause gen Z has and millennials have social media addiction, which has cause both generations to develop anxiety due to having very little face to face interaction. So it's all in aid to try and save Gen Alpha. Again, if you didn't know, social media employs casino tactics to keep its users addicted (you can fact-check that). The controversy is why the age restriction is so low if gambling (depending where you're from) can range from 18-21 and why children can bypass the security so easily, the obvious answer is trageted advertising..... so kids know what they want and perants have to now buy all the lastet toys and tech while simultaneously the perants are also targets for targeted advertising. Worse part is you have to wait a month to even permanently delete an account. This is a blatant attempt to keep the user scared in a fear mongering tactic, keeping them in suspense of losing the account for good... because after all they are making money from you and the children.
