You fix it with better culture. You don't throw away your principles and liberties because "bad things are happening to children, quick, burn the system down!"

It's nothing to do with "better culture" There are completely pragmatic and realist solutions that both respect privacy and liberty.

The research has been done and is concrete. Social media is horrible for kids and especially young girls. Now it's time for people to create solutions

As far as Australia is concerned, this isn't as much of a throwing away of principles and liberties as it might look. It's classic Australia to have a heavier hand in these types of ways. Admittedly though, less social media use generally sounds like a better culture to me.
