I still think we're solving social media from wrong angle. We should fix the addiction nature, so we can still use social media for informative purposes. (like hobby forums) Before the big platforms took over, there was lots rich information sources about tech and programming I wouldnt be there if those forums did not exist. Right now its just bunch negativity dopamine hits.

It's still weird how those social media bans are essentially "anything with chat/messages requires age check".

If social media is affecting learning, then ban using phones at schools, it's been very effective all around world with no privacy risks.
