>Frankly, social media is just too ingrained into the social fabric, and is just too useful and addictive to be banned. So if you have to do something and you can’t meaningfully do anything else…I guess it’s a ban for children.

this is something I've been dwelling on for the past couple days. I've avoided social media my entire adult life, and I'm realizing its akin to not having a car in a suburban sprawl, I can't interact properly with a lot of the modern internet, because of it.

Of course there are advantages, which I don't think i need to state in this community...

But i feel this is something people overlook when discussing banning social media for children. There is a balance to be struck, like anything.
