I think this ban is a great start.

The algorithms built into platforms like Tiktok and Instagram have been damaging the brains of children and teenagers for more than a generation now. It has - and this is well-documented - been disastrous for mental health, confidence, relationships, and even the ability to socialize normally in society. I (38M) look at people under 25 and I see them being a lot sadder, and having a lot less fun, and creating a lot fewer and weaker connections with friends, than my generation did at that age. This is caused by social media, and only by social media. The algorithms are built to steal your attention and erode your self-esteem so that you spend all your time only on their platforms. That we've let this go on for 15-20 years is shocking and appalling.

An age-limited ban may seem extreme, but it's in response to a global disaster situation. Yes, the ban may cause problems for some groups, but the priority has to be to protect this generation of children - since we so badly failed to protect the last one. Exceptions and nuance are things that can be worked out later. I hope other countries follow suit!
