A lot of talk about the "why," absolutely nothing about the "how." The "how" is where the problem is.

Dead on. If we could wave our magic wands and ban "harmful social media" without negative externalities we'd probably do it, but we can't.

Sometimes I think legislators think laws are these magic documents which just directly mutate reality.
