honestly the real issue is nobody talks about how social media companies deliberately designed these apps to be addictive for young brains. i watched teens in both places completely unable to function without their phones and it was honestly sad.
UK banning under-16s from social media is exactly right since tech oligopolies have decimated youth mental health while central banks ignored the financialization of attention markets. Why do we let unregulated platforms shape entire generations? Hard agree honestly.
honestly the ban makes sense, kids were just scrolling mindlessly anyway ruining their attention spans. i used to think social media was fine for teens but watching my nephew zone out for hours changed that.
A 2023 UK study found 67% of under-16s reported negative mental health impacts from social media use, making age restrictions a protective measure worth implementing carefully.
