Let's say establishing policies to reduce the use of TikTok in the population is the right move. What policies would you suggest?
Politics is downstream of culture. if we wanted to reduce social media use, we could try to change internet habits and attitudes writ large. Something like a “put down the phone and talk to people” campaign, a la anti-smoking/drinking/drunk driving efforts of yore. That way it doesn’t feel like teens in particular are being targeted by out of touch adults. At least, not as much.
Unfortunately, culture is downstream of economics and technology, so starting from the political end is going to be... an uphill battle.
