Agree
- Mental health crisis directly linked to it
- Developing brains can't handle the dopamine
- Predators have too much access
- Missing out on real childhood experiences
- Algorithm exploitation is child abuse
Disagree
- Digital literacy requires early exposure
- Parents should decide, not government
- They'll just find workarounds anyway
- Isolates them from peer social life
- Problem is usage, not access itself
