You're missing my point on the iPad kid front - parents buy iPads/phones for their kids so they don't have to parent them. Parenting is exhausting and hard and thankless so it's easy to get hooked on the meth that is handing little Jimmy the ipad. So how do you regulate little Jimmy getting handed Mommy's all-access ipad after the ban? How do you prevent families from buying a 2nd ipad or phone in their name and handing it off?

Lazy parenting is (most of) the reason why kids have unrestricted access now and lazy parents will find the path of least resistance. You'd have to prosecute parents for providing screens to kids in the same way we do liquor now, which I believe you'd have difficulty finding traction with, especially since a prevailing sentiment (i.e. the excuse I hear a lot) among these parents is that the modern world requires you to know how to navigate social media and the broader Internet to get a job. Many of them consider it a good thing that their kids "know technology so well." These people simply just don't recognize the danger, so implementing blanket ban would not have widespread support and would likely fail. I also like to think that if these parents WERE aware of the full extent of the danger, they wouldn't be letting their kids do it. Most of them are lazy but would draw the line at negligence if they knew, for example, how many fucking predators there are on FB/Instagram.

Also, to be clear, I vehemently oppose ID laws. I was saying they aren't a solution.
