So the issue really isn't "social media", it's the blackbox personalized algorithmic feed. So that is what we should be addressing. Things like -> no personalized algorithmic feed for minors. The ability to disable algorithmic feed and revert to historical feed from contacts. Giving the user control over suggestions and feed via the requirement that it should be possible to switch to a "third party algorithm provider" or self-host, while still being able to have full access to the contents and social features of the platform.

> So the issue really isn't "social media", it's the blackbox personalized algorithmic feed. > So that is what we should be addressing. That is what the bill addresses. It bans providing an "addictive feature" to users under 16. It says it does not prohibit letting under 16 users use the service as long as it does not provide addictive features on those accounts. It says addictive features are autoplay and addictive feeds. Most of the bill is then defining what those mean. There's plenty to argue over in that, but the core is just what you've said is what we should do.
