Yeah. Of the myriad reasons to criticize such a move, getting kids out of reach of the dopamine manipulations of vulture capitalists isn't one.

    That being said, the better solution would have been to regulate the social media companies to not manipulate people

    No doubt. It's a shitty move. But it's also shitty reporting focusing on "kids miss social media" while there so much bigger issues with the law. It generates noise and disperses criticism. It only benefits surveillance capitalism.

    Absolutely.

    And the 'woe is me' thing just doesn't jive with me, having grown up without social media and knowing the benefits of analog friendships.

    "having never experienced the world from their situation, I have no sympathy for them"

    Okay boomer. I grew up before chat rooms and cell phones too, but I choose to be less judgemental to people who haven't had the same life experiences I have.
