a heavy handed approach, but I don't see one that is not heavy handed, private, and effective enough.

slight modification: mobile phone is ok if it only has a small screen like on old feature phones, no capabilities for mobile data but only calls (that's probably a software limitation), and no social media apps (or any installable apps).
perhaps wifi capability with a weak antenna, or a wifi interface that only supports low speeds.

private communications is a question though, because phone calls and SMS are anything but private.

hey people, this could work!

and its not like we need to ban kids from the internet, but to only allow them with the active supervision of a parent.
