You don't need the law to do that, you need a weekend of brushing up on router operation
I do need the law to step in and do that because my kids are influenced by other kids where parents don't give a shit. I've seen plenty of kids act like little fuckheads. guess what, it's all the kids in stable or wealthy families. all the poor kids don't have access to those platforms outside of school.
social media and online media has been linked with so many detriments for developing children that it's no worse than allowing kids to smoke or drink alcohol.
if parents can't be trusted to identify the dangers and take action, regulation of the problem is merited.
