    Kids brains aren’t developed yet, give them a chance.

    Social media is bad for kids because it amplifies social comparison and algorithm-driven validation, which can undermine self-esteem and mental health during critical stages of brain development. It also displaces real-world socialization and sleep while exposing kids to content and pressures they’re not developmentally equipped to process.

            Your arguing that limiting social media will facilitate those concerns. There is documented evidence that social media has facilitated genocide and is the a mass surveillance tool that reports to the government and sells our data to private military and intelligence agencies. I suggest that by not giving these data harvesting and social manipulation services our data will prevent your concerns.
