    Usually I’m against this sort of thing but hear me out:

    • it’ll at least keep SOME kids off social media
    • “kids will just use VPNs” >> some will, but maybe govs will finally realise how stupid trying to block things are and actually start regulating social media properly
    • “kids will just join other social medias” >> not great but maybe that’ll help break meta’s dominance?

    If I had kids, I’d say an hour of social media is fine. After that, give me the phone and do your damn homework you dumb kid.
