Smartphones are why social media is the way it is.

It'd be a lot different, and a lot less-used, if you still had to go sit at a desk to use it.

Depression and mental health issues is directly coming from the software on mobile phones not the fact that you carry a computer in your pocket.

They focus on the wrong variable. It would be hard to ban mobile phones. But less hard to curb down on social media.
