I spoke with a teacher friend of mine this evening in Australia, and her comments were that her students attitudes had improved somewhat since the ban here.
Students were texting each other on their phones as always, but they knew who the fuck they were texting to. Social media is a loudhailer that hits everyone. Students are back to passing notes to one another. That’s a good thing.
As the government here has admitted from the beginning, it’s imperfect, and difficult to implement, it will need a lot of work going forward, but every step in the right direction helps.

At first I was against this only from the point that I don’t think this is something that should require government intervention. This seems like such an obvious place for parents to handle this at home, but it’s become clear that a lot of people underestimate or just don’t care about the profound effect that social media and uninhibited access to the internet can have on kids.
So, while I still feel like it’s government overreach I think it’s necessary to keep kids safe mentally and physically. Hopefully more parents and adults will catch on before this kind of government intervention is necessary.

Considering the fact that social media is where most teens and such get news and such from, I do not think this is a good idea.
At least social media lets people form their own opinion and do their own research more when compared to mainstream news

Good. Should be banned for everyone under 150.
10% of the way there!

Look I get that online propaganda can influence elections, but I’m pretty sure 15yo anywhere aren’t able to vote anyway.
And pretty sure they’re better at discerning online bs than grandmas on Facebook too. With or without online brainrot and ragebait content…:
