Instead of regulating people, how about we regulate big tech and their predatory business practices instead.
Right! You gotta stop it at the source. Not source being the way we interact, (phone/is) in taking the source of the issue… WHO creates the big addictive platform? Meta. Stop it there… If only it were so easy. Too bad there’s a lot of backdoor policies & negotiations going on with big tech’s influence.
I think we have to do both. Bans/restrictions to prevent immediate harms (or at least attempt to), and regulation to prevent future harms.
Blanket social media bans for teenagers may do more harm than good. If the evidence doesn’t show social media is the main cause of the mental health crisis, pushing teens onto smaller, unregulated platforms could actually increase risks. Better digital literacy, parental involvement, and platform accountability are likely to be more effective than outright bans.
Low hanging and short term solutions are the one policians crave the most

Gotta stick to emotion, opinion and subjective, otherwise we might make progress with rationality.
she crashed her car and drank excessively as a teen, she says.
She gave both her children smartphones when they turned 11 and let her daughter start using Snapchat at the same age.
Yeah… that tracks.
I didn’t drink until I was in my 20s, and I’ve never driven a car, let alone crashed one.
I also let my kid use social media in their pre teens.
why?
Who is “we”, as they say. Such headlines are always baitclick. Always.
TL;Dr
Men are evil and should be exterminated, basically.
Not an accurate summary.
