It’s a good thing to be happening. However it’s not only addictive to children/ teens, adults also are observed to be addicted and resent into depression.

Yes but we’ve known this for a long time, this specific instance is an issue which has been gaining momentum for a while now and is soon to spiral out of control if we do nothing

  I agree. people will say it’s because of lobbying between those companies and the government - I agree, but partially. That’s because the majority of people put no effort in combating this addiction; they may say “it’s addictive” but that’s about it.
  
  I’m not even sure people will be willing to admit they have an addiction. And this could be harmful for their preteen children - as this is when they take example of their parents.
