A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Wow, equating a child's coping mechanism and trauma escapes with giving them drugs is a low that's genuinely impressive. And infuriating.
I never said anything against therapy, that's of course essential. So is making sure there is no immediately harmful stuff around them (which entertainment, games and social interactions via internet that are used to cope are NOT fucking part of). But taking away their coping mechanism is literally the worst thing you can do and will only inflict even more damage.
I went through this fucking shit two decades ago (but with 2000's computer & internet) and I'll die on this hill. Implying that a phone is inherently damaging is regurgitated boomer bullshit, and taking it away if it's their coping mechanism / outlet completely from a traumatized child will lead to either estrangement later or suicide earlier.
