Not your problem yet
That being said: just banning smartphones isn’t gonna cut it.

Smartphones are fine, it’s just a small computer that can make calls and is connected to the internet. You’re using it wrong.

It’s a lot of problems that I would never solve on my own, and both politicians and citizens don’t want to change: social media and AI are destroying humans, and climate change is destroying the world. It’s inevitable but the smartphone that I use is not responsible.

The rise of fascists isn’t your problem? Believe it or not, they’d never be this strong if it weren’t for brainwashing the masses via smartphones.

We had the same propaganda with books, radio, and TV. Should we ban those things too?

I’m just saying, that it is a problem and unless you’re fascist yourself, it is also your problem. Banning phones is ridiculous and will never go through anyway.
By the way, the internet is a billion times more efficient in spreading propaganda than anything we’ve ever seen before. Something needs to be done. Banning phones is not the solution though.
