Right I mean that they should be punished for doing those things, not for the basic act of providing social media to youth, which I am afraid this will continue to morph into as a moral panic as it is elsewhere in the world like Australia and the UK for example.

Its not about the act of providing social media to kids though.

A total of 29 states are attached to the lawsuit against Meta, which accuses the company of major violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. The legislation bars the collection of data from underage users without parental consent.

That's a separate concern. I will point out it's the same way we treat alcohol, and that direct messaging with friends apps aren't banned.
