Sure, social media is bad for kids. Why can't their parents regulate them though? Isn't keeping kids away from dangerous things a basic requirement of being a parent?

I propose passing laws that make parents who let their kids on social media pay fines and risk having social media sites blocked by their ISP rather than just making all adults have to get an "internet license".

It’s bad for everyone, except for the advertisers, and arguably it’s bad for them as a 2nd order effect.

I think we just need to ban social media in general. It's done more harm to our societies than good.
