    If the new dumb phones also came with Google Family Link for tracking then it would be a win. But they don’t. As a parent, having the ability to track my kids when I know they’re heading to or from somewhere is a big deal. And no, it’s not an issue of trust.

      Give them a phone with no play store or browser. If they get apks over mms or adb I think they’ve earned them

      I’d argue that is still an issue of trust, but maybe more concerning society / the local neighborhood.
