Theyre not banning it, theyre restricting people under the age of 16 from using it.
Which is WITHOUT A DOUBT valid asf
As someone who had unrestricted internet access as a child it caused irreparable damage to me as a person and exposed me to things that broke down my childhood and influenced a "mature" aesthetic, behavior, etc.
Dont get me wrong social media Is a powerful tool, but the preservation of a child's innocence should be far more a concern to parents than their children watching short form content for 3 hours so they dont throw a fit in the car ride to mcdonalds.
