alt Hacker News> This is pretty radical, but what if, perhaps, the children touched grass instead of doom scrolling?
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
- Harmful effects are known, that is why those laws are created.
- How is a parent going to take phones of their kid's friends? That is the main problem - your kid is going to be pressured to have a social media account. They even can have one on some old phone from their friend.
