It's bad for EVERYONE's health. Try to limit your usage and you'll feel better. I promise you'll feel better.

Protect your kids from whom? Surely not Meta, which is my main concern.
It certainly is unsafe for their AI training corpus. Win / win if they can also lie about protecting children as a motivation.

How these protections are working when I get served literal porn every couple of shorts on Instagram?
Protecting kids and Terrorism, always the reason why nobody is allowed to have privacy on the internet.
