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.

I have read them. Cigarettes give you cancer and is not a hard drug. But it wasn’t my argument. I would think if they’re arguing it so blatantly they would have even a basic summary of why.
This is patriot act levels of invasion. I need some damn answers why we’re doing this all again

If civilization ends, it will be because of social media. It elected Trump. Young men worship people like Joe Rogan. Anti-intellectualism is the norm.
Smoking might give you lung cancer, sure, but the moral turpitude promulgated by social media virtually guarantees a destruction of the natural environment that will also give you cancer, to go with the fascism and anti-democracy brainwashing.
