In fact the majority of the electorate in Australia supports this, so that is exactly where you’d go to be in a community that shares your values. Social media has an addictive and infectious nature, even people who hate it end up using it because of the crippling network effects.

because they don't know the consequences and the question that was asked was literally "should kids be banned from social media?". You can bet the opinion will shift when more and more sites demand age verification and sending government IDs to random websites. It will also be widened to more than just the big social media sites, let's not kid ourselves.
