This is pretty radical, but what if, perhaps, the children touched grass instead of doom scrolling?

Lonely children aren’t the fault of the government, they’re the fault of parents who let them scroll TikTok in their rooms all day, because actually parenting would be difficult or inconvenient.

A simple solution would be:

  - measure the harmful effects of it if there are any, and make it public
  - tell parents to take away the kids phones while they are at home
There is absolutely no need to identify everyone on the internet, or forbid kids to talk to other kids.
