As a parents with teenagers, being the bad guy by limiting their social media has been a path to exhaustion and constant bickering (at least in my home).
So having the government back me up and do the obvious and sensible thing will give me, as a parent, more reinforcement when not giving my kids social media until 16. Frankly, I’m going to try and limit it until they are 18.
The ability to point to the government backing me up, ideally rooted in research and mental health gives me a shot at framing the long term effects of social media like other impactful products/technologies - there’s positives and negatives so take your time.
Government action isn’t the solution to everything, or most things for that matter, but limiting social media is definitely an obvious one and will result in healthier kids.
So porn consumption is fine, but tiktok is where the lines are drawn?
No. Websites like those are blocked at router. Anyone who can afford a $50 router would know this.
Okay if that's your response then I got news for you sire.
Same solution that you recommended can also be applied to any social media app.
