Censorship is often justified by comparisons to physical substances like this - chemicals can irreparably harm your body, therefore ideas can irreparably harm your brain. I don't believe that these are the same. There's no way to really prove it, but there is a way to prove that censorship (which is what banning social media amounts to) _is_ objectively bad.
- sunshine-o 1y agoI am not advocating for censorship or in a fact any measure from the gov to restrict access to internet or social media. Kids are gonna be able to once in a while get their hand on porn, a beer, a cigarette or whatever. The problem is the lack of supervision and parents who use devices to avoid having to take care of their children.
