Summary

Yes, this trend is truly dangerous. Delegating parental roles to tech companies erodes empathy, weakens family bonds, and places moral development in the hands of profit-driven systems.

Recommendation

I strongly recommend that parents reduce digital outsourcing of parenting. It is essential to take back the emotional and moral presence in raising children. Corporations should not dictate family values.
