Having lived through both (and the book bans, Chinese products, vaccines, food additives, video games, rap, non-English speakers, fucking other people's family BBQs, ect ect) it's all the same thing. It's always the same thing, (rich/white) people blaming something else instead of their shitty abusive parenting and the harmful status quo they depend on to explain why their abused and hurting kids are abused and hurting.

@Kalshann I am in education and when phones were banned the kids went outside to play and tell me they are much happier

There is a difference between not letting kids have access to any shows, friends or distractions in a classroom, and not letting children ever have access to the global community we've created in the last 50 years.

Just because companies (the predators) and the feds want to just ban kids (the victims) instead of fix the problem is my complaint, not that kids don't need some form of structure. I want them happy, but also don't want them stuck in isolation for 18 years.

@Kalshann I think we need to attack the problem on both ends. Regulate the addiction machine but also allow children to avoid living in cyber rather than the real world
