Sad to see people here supporting the same kinds of policies that are diametrically opposed to privacy on the internet.

Parental control softwares are always parents failing to take the time to properly educate themselves and their children to the internet, as well as trust issue towards their children, which is bad parenting since it leads children into lying to them and finding alternatives as well as feeling seen "as a child", bad for teens...

Moreover those softwares are, as I said earlier nearly malwares

Most parents don't know, don't care. Social media has been proven to be bad for kids, it's nothing new, this is a good thing

Social media has been proven to be bad for kids Way too broad statement, which social media, which kids, how "bad"? There's no scientific statement without those precision, and the broad opposite of your broad statement could as well be "proven" using studies
