Ron Emmanuel has been pushing banning social media for <=16 yrs old, pointing to Australia's ban as an example of success.

I don't know how anyone can point to the Australian U16 ban as an example of success, it's only been in since December 10. 12 days is too early first any real read on it plus it's incredibly easy to circumvent

Good idea but no realistic path to implementation.

And what does politics have to do with implementation?

"Path to implementation"

That requires support by representatives that respond to constituents.

Lol.... seriously

Was your omission of "realistic" intentional?

Precisely my point. Any attempt to implement any such law will more or less be universally ignored. And ignored law leads to contempt for the law and that will permeate throughout the system.

Once again: WHY should teens not be on social media?! Nobody seems to mention that!

Teens shouldn’t be on social media because their brains are still developing, particularly the parts responsible for judgment, impulse control, and emotional regulation, while social media platforms are deliberately engineered to exploit insecurity, comparison, and reward-seeking behavior.

True, but any implementation is very problematic.

Yeah, but television does that too! What's really new here?!
