Then I read that chat apps and YouTube would not be banned, and scoffed
Literally chat apps are social media. You can post stories and pump memes and news. You can even have bots that scrape and post content. YouTube is just a matter of checking a box whether it's "for kids" and they already do that. Basically the whole thing is stupid
So even in perfect scenario where this ban "works" it would still have zero intended effect as teens can consume all of that rubbish but not talk back and can jolly continue any harm on "allowed apps" like wtf is even this supposed to do lmao
