I knew this would be the topic for today. 😅
Here's my own opinion about the matter.
First of, parenting, like every other thing in this life, is complicated. There's no one that can come out to say this is the right way or this a wrong way of parenting. But that is not to say there are no good or bad forms of parenting - some parents are horrible at their job while some aren't.
Since we're all different people with different personalities, we also need to be subjected under different styles of parenting. What I feel is that, parents should be observant enough to know what type of style they should employ when dealing with each child.
And about social media... With the way the world is moving, it's very hard to protect children from the ills of social media because some of those things are slowly finding their ways into mainstream media. I think the best way to tackle this is just establish a solid communication ground with your child and help them filter out the good from the daily information they're constantly being bombarded with.
