And before anyone blames the parents, parents will always be shitty. They are an impediment to children's health society must work around.
I wish we would just pull the plug on ad-based social media altogether. The incentives add up to destroying society.
Zuckerberg was not a parent when he conceived of Facebook and "society" as a whole is pushing social media on kids, not parents.
Maybe cut nontechnicals a little slack? Their adversaries have invested literally billions of dollars in R&D.

This is what I was referencing. Your reply is a non sequitur here.
The health of kids with parents is infinitely better than those without. Just saying
...huh? This is completely backwards. We should be making laws that punish parents for failing to parent properly. Not laws that punish everyone.
If we pass a law that children under a certain age may not use social media, then giving your child a non-child-locked device should be treated the same way we treat giving your child alcohol or cigarettes.

In many (perhaps most?) places that's completely legal provided you're the legal guardian, you're present, not in public, etc, etc.
