“Childrens advocates “ have been backing the most egregiously unconstitutional, paternalistic, data broker friendly, moral panic, privacy dystopia bullshit bills around the country. “Childs advocates” are why we have anti pornography pearl clutching panopticon laws that require you to scan a government ID to jerk off. Fuck off with that.

I agree with all of this.

But this is none of that. This is informing people that the evidence says that excessive social media use does harm, because most people genuinely don’t understand the risks.

“Think of the children” is somehow the gotcha for so many of the hard-of-thinking amongst us.

There’s no actual science about social media causing health problems like cigarettes.

It’s a politician and state control issue.
