Evidence of risk is not sufficient. It must always be balanced against potential benefits.

Children are being unconditionally banned from using major technologies, preventing them from benefiting at all. My life would have turned out very differently if I had been banned from using computers back when I was a kid. I don't want my own kids to grow up without the same freedom I enjoyed.

I feel I would be in a much better place if I had been banned from using computers as a kid. It's all relative.
