Why for those under 16 in particular? It has no value for anybody at any age, and has apparently driven tons of adults insane.

But the right answer is still to ban advertising. And I don't mean just to those under 16.

Banning platform owned advertising on social networks is already impossible. If you have any concept that is broader than that, rest assured trying it will create a dystopia that still has advertising.

Agree, targeted advertising in particular is a trojan horse for many other internet-fueled social ills.
