& yes, I understand the concerns about social media features that may lead to concerning usage. But it's hard to disengage those concerns from information: we wouldn't see as many complaints about "endless scroll" if it were feeding kids book recommendations, bible verses, music adults like, etc.

Attempts to limit non-legal-adults' access to social media should be reflexively rejected like book banning is, and like Frederic Wertham's comic book panic was before. It's all about restricting their access to information.
