Early data from headspace shows that the teen social media ban emerged as a prominent factor in why 12-15-year-olds were coming to them.

My take is like... social media ban good, taking away an addictive thing and making the addicts go cold turkey with no real plan is VERY VERY BAD. Caps not to indicate that I'm yelling just to add more impact to how fucked up and stupid I think the implementation is

in the law, they can sill aceess social media. they just cant have an account. so they would just become read only for them. unless the social media sites are the ones doing do blocking of being able to see the stuff without an account. so then ita social media doing the bad thing. not the government law.
