I'm totally with banning social media for under-16s because my niece got so much happier when she stopped scrolling, and honestly kids just don't need that stuff anyway.
look, kids are glued to their phones and it's obviously bad for them. i watched my younger cousins in london literally ignore everyone at dinner, so yeah, banning under-16s makes total sense.
honestly the timing of this ban right when social media companies were facing real pressure on child safety feels convenient, but protecting kids from algorithmic addiction is worth asking those hard questions about implementation.
Instead of asking if we should ban social media, shouldn't we ask why we've let algorithms designed for adult attention spans addict developing brains in the first place?
