You're right of course, but not exclusively - both are necessary. IMHO the era your sons were growing up, the concern was properly contextualizing online interpersonal interactions, which were completely invisible to parents by default.
Now we're dealing with websites/apps that have been explicitly designed to addict mature adults, playing people as pawns against one another. I'm familiar with the idea of "Rat Park" [0], but I think even if we can be absolutely sure kids' needs are being met it would be naive to rely on it.
