This is authoritarianism and censorship on the access of information. This will restrict adults.
People should not fall for the “protect the kids” lie.
The government should support parents in having conversations with their kids on how to use the internet safely. We have parental controls for a reason.
I wonder if they are legislating any school classes in how to deal with social media? Things like critical thinking, spotting propaganda online, dealing with bullying and fake nudes?
Or are they just going to ban it and say they did something?

Or legislating the predatory practices social media sites use to manipulate their users.

No that would be anti-business. Communism, even.

How about dealing with the social media companies that caused the problem?
