I don’t think you understand, widespread organized media campaigns were pretty successful with smoking, which is physically and chemically addictive, but that’s different because with smoking we were willing to put in some effort. Not possible here.

You are right, I definitely do not understand. My views:

  - moderate amount of Internet is *not harmful* for children
  - parents, in most of the cases *can* control excessive amount of usage
  - governments haven't tried educating the children and their parents yet. (Or any other method)
  - instead they are banning the kids from the Internet and deanonymise adults
I am not happy about this.
