The "think of the children" framing in all these cases troubles me. Adults experience harms from these platforms too.

We see problems with addiction, political influence, extremist rabbit-holes, fraud, and yes, buying tonnes of unnecessary crap because they're basically a non-stop stream of advertising.

Children are certainly particularly vulnerable, but my Dad's social media habits are what really worry me, and the societal implications of nations hooked on rage-bait.
