I'm a reasonably diligent parent and think fairly highly of myself, but if the fight is me against a couple of trillion dollar tech companies who have very bright staff devoted to capturing my children's attention my any means necessary, well that's a fight I'm going to lose sooner or later.
people wanting to talk to other people? Yes, that's the great benefit of social media. in the 2000's this was kids using cellphone minutes to chat around on flip phones. in the 90's it was some early online game chats. in the 80's it was kids stuck at an arcade.
I don't see anything inherently unethical about social media. You just gotta teach kids how to communicate to others and express themselves without putting down others. Not an easy feat (the bully trope goes back millenia), but this stopgap of just holding the courier accountable doesnt seem to solve anything,
