@leavex in my family people with mental problems intensified by social media were harmed by it as already adults. So yes, ban toxicity-promoting designs instead of drawing arbitrary line where person is "mature enough" to deal with poison.

@madargon @leavex Yeah. The adults are even more messed up by it and are the ones destroying everything the kids were supposed to inherit.

@madargon @leavex Talk of "protecting kids from social media" is utter bullshit until you address the primary way they're harmed by it: having it rot the brains of the adults who were supposed to be building a better and more just world for them and turning them into instruments of fascism.
