We live in a world where screens have taken over. Our children's are showing early sign of anxiety, depression, eye issues , wearing glasses at young age because of being exposed to screens for long time.

Cigarettes had the same effect. Before it was normalised and people use to smoke anywhere and everywhere but then when scientists realised the harmful effects, it was regulated. Do you support regulating screentime as it has harmful effects of childrens and adults?

FYI- Australia banned social media for under 16 which is highly successful and other countries are trying to learn from Australia on how they defeated big tech.
