Rather than really address what is ass about social media, we just "ban" it for folks who we can ban it for. This seems off.

Kid's have unlimited time. They'll find something else, likely pretending to be adults and thus even more at risk.

Meanwhile everyone else gets an internet license and the government every website tracks you ...

This is a classic case of nice idea and the results will be all wrong / not even address the problem.

By creating 'rules' for social media based on what's good and bad instead of banning it altogether you end up creating loopholes instead. Even in the case we instead first discuss what is "ass" we will probably end up having a debate instead of getting anything done for another 10 years. I'm on team, just get shit done.
