I’m with you on that. I think all of this should be mandated in a way that allows parents the choice and the tech companies the choice to operate for children or not. Now if you are advocating that the govt overreached when it banned cigarette companies from airing commercials during children’s cartoons… thats a little to far on the libertarian train for me. I don’t think regulation around the type of algorithms they can use around children is not worth investigating. Advertising choices and algorithmic implementation incentives do not seemed align with childhood development and I worry the feed them to the wolves approach won’t work out well for either side.

The problem - especially in USA is that whoever is in power when the "regulation" is added - whatever that regulation is - will be 100% political thing. And say 50% of people will not be happy about it. The power shifts, we either scrape or put other "regulations" in place to make the other 50% of people happy - ad infinitum... I am against regulations mostly because they are never about "protecting kids" or whatever the "spirit" should be - they are always political in nature (e.g. your kids should NOT read these books nonsense...)
