The cuts to education were the last thing that disengaged kids from the world, of course they are going to self soothe

Parents activate over their own kids. They’re seeking to protect them and will call their electeds and knock on doors and potentially back a primary challenger if you ignore them.
Governments always "Think of the kids" until they have to invest in them.
Then suddenly it becomes performative posturing with maybe a little extra spending here and there.
I'm not a fan of social media. I'm also not a fan of authoritarian governments.
From my POV those two things are more similar than they are different.
