You’re confused by the assertion that access to social media is at least as bad for children as some banned drugs? Is this your first day on earth?

It’s not as bad as drugs. Don’t give your kids phones. Be a parent. Don’t need to upload all our data and Id to palantir databases for tracking under the same old “protect the children” bullshit

Hard disagree.
This isn’t necessary. For instance, simply require any device to which children have access to get software that prevents access to 90% of the internet. Problem solved.

-It kills kids. -It terrorizes kids.
What other harms are wanting kids to endure?

Currently it’s illegal for kids to smoke cigarettes and consume alcohol, none of which are as harmful as social media (or toddlers watching YouTube AI slop on an iPad). If you want you can read any of the gazillion pieces of research on this extremely obvious conclusion.
