It is destroying the mental health of children. I've seen the results in real time with my own eyes with my nieces and nephews, classmates in college, and children I work with.

We've done our experiment - let children have unfettered access to technology and social feedback systems their developing brains are in no way prepared to cope with. It has gone as shittily as possible. We restrict movies based on content. We should be doing this, too.

Hell, I don't think adults are managing it well. Bunch of brain-rotted lunatics everywhere now. But there's nothing one can do about that.
