I think a lot of people say “oh, what’s the point of banning social media, teens will get around it anyways”. But I think that’s good. It forces teens to be more intentional about what they consume. Teens should not be so directly operating in the legitimate consumer funnel. Bring back transgression.
Teens don't need social media. If it works in 90% of cases with 10% skirting around the rules, then I think it's okay. Once they become adults, they can create an account if they want to.
