Peter Thiel and other tech billionaires are publicly shielding their children from the products that made them rich

Despite building screen-focused worlds, tech billionaires like Peter Thiel, Steve Jobs, and Steve Chen are shielding their children from the tech products they helped create. Thiel limits his children's screen time to 1.5 hours per week, while others like Bill Gates and Elon Musk have also implemented strict device usage rules for their kids. This trend is supported by scientific research linking short-form video use to poorer cognition and mental health issues. As governments consider banning social media for minors, these tech leaders' private practices contrast with their public stances.
