Same thoughts! "Prediction market trading?!" Y'all are gambling!

Thanks for your thorough answer. I read your post and the first few links. I don't disagree with what you write, but wouldn't it be a start to disallow the algorithmic techniques that maximize the amount of time someone uses the app? The first link talks about a U-shaped curve where there's a "usage sweet spot" for kids' wellbeing. Don't things that work to prevent overuse (i.e. ending up on the far end of the U-curve) help? Stuff like no infinite scroll, limiting the amount of non-subscribed content shown in the feed, etc.?

Why's that? I'm curious to hear the counter-arguments

Smart move, this is great to see! I think it's pragrmatic on the EU's part. I think we all know from browsing other platforms with infinite scroll that having to click 'next' at the end of the page for the 20th time is enough of a jolt to conclude, "that's enough of this for now," and to move on with your day
