i know of someone who didn't have a single means of accessing an online space, during an era in which everyone had social media, until they were 16 and perhaps not so coincidentally they got so one-shot by instagram reels that they basically needed their partner to ban them from the app forever

Banning kids under 16 from social media is a terrible idea. First of all, it doesn’t work. Second of all, the idea is that you’re going to introduce all of social media to someone at age 16 and expect that to go well

which to be clear, does indicate a problem where these are designed to hook those whose senses are already dulled by the modern internet's sensory overloads, and are thus cognitively fatal to everyone else to solve that requires actual regulation; these laws are just meant to farm surveillance data
