    Disagreed. But I would agree if you had said 13.

    Social media is bad for your mental health and development, but it isn’t as absurdly awful as Alcohol, and doesn’t require the level of responsibility of Driving. Plus, there ARE positives to social media.

    Blocking people off before 18 stunts people’s ability to get into niche hobbies, of finding others with different world views and of being able to share niche creations. While some kids are prodigies as early as 7 year olds, the vast majority of people has the ability to be able to produce something of quality by 12 if they focus and try. Doesn’t matter if most misuse and doomscroll, it’s in their right.
