What would be better policy, in your opinion?

  Having taught in schools for years? Treat companies that make addictive products the same way we treat drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Kids want them, particularly teenagers. We aren't perfect at stopping their access. But we can make a best attempt. It would be hard, and it would be 'anti-capitalism', but, I think we have done real long term damage to a generation, and I think in 20 years, like Tobacco, it I'll turn out the companies knew how much they were damaging children and covered it up.

    > It would be hard, and it would be 'anti-capitalism' These things are opposites - the former is a downside, the latter an upside.

    It's not anti-capitalism to not spend public money on nonsense that doesn't further the goals of education, no is it anti-capitalism to control the learning environment in schools. What we have is a collective action problem.

    there will be one school shooting and no one would be able to call 911 and then there will be a public outcry. the big tech companies making these phones and apps will amplify that outcry hard, and the phones will be let back in. the addiction will continue.
