Well I am a dad and my son is unable to use social media and now spends time playing cricket outside with other kids in the neighbourhood. I don't care what you gen z and millennials say but I am seeing the effect of the ban and I am happy with it. Now I hope the government regulate screen time as cigarettes are regulated in Australia. Make TVs and mobiles.phones so expensive that its out of reach of 9-5s and poor people as they are the majority.
Also dude wtf are you doing? You just joined the fediverse like 6 days ago and your insulting people for speaking there mind? Here on lemmy.ml we expect you are respectful even when disagreeing, you won't be welcome here if you are unkind to everyone who has a different opinion to you.
Lol stop reading my comments.
Well that's good to hear that it's working for some people. It's strange how some under 16s can still access social media (without using any work arounds like vpns) and others are effectively blocked.
Regulate social media so it's less addictive, or better yet promote a society where accumulation of wealth isn't the main driver of big decisions. Overall I still believe mobile phones have been overall beneficial to people who have them.
A cigarette addict always says not to regulate cigarette as it helps to them to relax so I understand where you coming from but we will make screen time regulated and then we will get driver license linked to the IP address so that we know what pedophiles, racist and bigots are typing online.
