  It’s not as bad as drugs.

  Hard disagree.

  Don’t need to upload all our data

  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.

      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.
