Next, they should limit boomer social media access.

And then everyone in between.

"...Meta said it has robust tools to keep children safe."

Sure.

Watching the socials get lumped into the same moral category as cigarettes, domestic abuse, the Sacklers, and cable news, is giving me a bit of schadenfreude.

Don't worry. My joy won't last.

They will not be the last. There is a lot of political capital being spent in this area, both because it improves health outcomes for young people, and because whatever negative side effects might arise will largely be borne by California and the larger tech industry alone. Big Tech is not seen as an ally in many state capitals.
