A very good piece on the implication of a social media ban for children
@adfichter wrote a very clear explanation of why a social media ban for teenagers has the side effect of building an infrastructure to gather even more information about everyone:

I don't have to sell to this crowd why this is bad.
What can we do about it?
Tell our representatives and governments that we don't want more surveillance, and that protecting children should not come at the expense of fundamental rights.
You can do that in an individual capacity (send them an email) or by supporting organizations working in that space (@edri is a good starting point to find the right one for you)
