Frankly, the proper solution is to ban social media regardless of age. We are already doing it with heroin and other similar substances and clearly social media are pretty bad for everyone and anyone.

Tobacco and alcohol are scientifically proven carcinogens, yet they are sold ubiquitously in the [western] world. I would argue they are more dangerous than social medias. Yet we don't see any push in banning tobacco and alcohol for 'everyone'.

		We won't ban any of all these things because there are people with political power that make fortunes out of them. Whether that's alcohol, social media, tobacco or otherwise. We will not go for the proper solution, not because it's not the proper solution but because powerful people won't allow it. If you do look at the things we have indeed banned, you will find that they are mostly coming from outside our countries. It's not cut and dry, but it's very geopolitical pretty often.

why don't you then take a break from social media and leave HN for your own sake instead of creating fake profiles to comment on posts and rid the rest of us from your stupidity?

What part of it's all about politics did you fail to understand?

Also, ad hominem are the tool of the really stupid. Be better than them!
