    Don't worry, I'm sure the government have plans for it and for VPN. It's not impossible to stop as some said.

    See questions like this are good because it's a litmus test of how educated people are on something. and if not, whether they're eilling to admit it, or fall back on comparing it back to their childhood, which is so different so not applicable now.

    most people supporting social media bans have no idea why these bans don't work, nor the harm it would cause marginalised youth, including disabled kids.

    And what's your idea of how it would work then, seeing as there are some really clever people working on this?. A lot of people are thinking of the influence it has on younger people with some young people dying because of it. Would that not make you think more about it if it was a relative of yours?.

    People rarely educate themselves or even ask question on the subject they support. They just see "oh it helps children" lets support it and not ask any questions. Regardless whether it means in the future it will vastly affect everyone and not in a positive way.

    Some people might as well just go round going "baa"
