    If we agree social media can be harmful, then why is it an age question and not changing it at its source for everyone like removing infinite scroll. All this does is normalise ID checks for social media so that when the kids are old enough to be on it, they don’t see an issue with assigning their ID to their online activity. At the same time we have people getting arrested for protesting which is meant to be a human right.
