There's always been something like the internet though. When I was growing up there was a lot of concern around video games, for example. Growing up I even knew a few guys who were arguably addicted to video games and did nothing else when they weren't in school but play video games. Video games are also designed to be addictive and can often have harmful content – this is the main reason parents wanted certain video games banned in the 90s. Again, I'm not against sensible limits on children. I do understand that a child cannot have 100% agency over their own actions. But blanket bans on "harmful" videos games like GTA or apps like TikTok seems silly because it limits the actions of adults under the assumption that the government knows what's best for you and your family. What the government could do is implement age restrictions and age-based content filters. Mandate that companies provide parents with the tools to restrict usage and fine companies that fail do to this. But otherwise just let people do what they want. Tiktok is a great app enjoyed by millions. I don't know why we have to ruin that because a small percentage of people can't control their usage.
