Why? Isn't socializing the base of all society? Aren't social media the privileged way people do socialize nowadays? Why should kids be kept at bay? Is it for their safety?

Problem is not user or socialize, problem is platform. Design to be addictive, keep you on platform for more ad, feed you dopamine and get emotion to keep you hook.

Same argument of protect from alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, ...

That's more or less what I 'm saying: we need to work on those tools, not on filtering who is allowed to use them.

Adults are not that smarter than kids, imvho, they too could very easily be considered 'victims' of those manipulative tools. And maybe they should, watching how they poorly behave while they're pretending to show kids what it means to be a 'responsible adult'.
