The social media ban is utterly, utterly disgusting. not because it 'doesn't go far enough' or 'won't keep kids safe' or whatever other 'reason' is given that translates to MORE BANNING PLEASE, but because it is a heinous jackboot in the face of the idea that children are human beings. It is extremely dangerous in itself, cutting off lifelines of all kinds, narrowing their worlds, and massively decreasing knowledge and learning (and its potential) and increasing loneliness. the idea that our kids, banned from even Youtube, which is basically knowledge itself, and the most democratically available, will end up being able to vaguely compete on the world stage with peers who have not been cast back into the iron age by an insane, madly illogical government is preposterous and one of the saddest aspects of this.
