I just want infinite scrolling data mining attention farming algorithms to be forbidden, at the very least for children under 18. Nothing about banning access to the internet.

And that's great, so long as the government remains trustworthy.

But then one day you have a government that, say, starts mining the IRS databases to pass that information along to ICE for arrest prospects...

Once it's recorded, you not only have to trust the current government, but all future governments as well.

I don't think I said anything about banning access, just restricting it. In any case, I want such things banned too, for everyone - because you can't have it banned for kids without adversely affecting privacy for everyone.
