It's still weird to me to see tech website comments calling for extreme government restrictions on technology use. Limiting adults to 1 hour of screen time per day across social apps? That's a call for an insane level of government intrusion into our lives that is virtually unheard of outside of extremely controlling governments.

less controlling than banning the software alltogether.

The government bans plenty of activities. Taking illegal drugs. Murdering people. Fishing without a license. Investing in unregulated stocks, Etc. Why not addictive apps?
