What they're saying: Haidt offers four controversial suggestions:

No smartphones for kids before high school give them only flip phones in middle school.
No social media before age 16.
Make schools phone-free, by putting devices in phone lockers or Yondr pouches.
Give kids far more free play and independence, including more and better recess.

All of that sounds like basic common sense, lol
