Federal and municipal social media bans are also unlikely to work. It's best regulated at the household level.

Much as I would like to completely ban everyone in the world from visiting facebook and twitter, you can't really do that and still pretend to have a free society that cares about human rights. What you could do instead is outlaw the surveillance capitalist business model they depend on — universally, through strong privacy laws not aimed specifically at social media or any other narrowly-defined type of application.

This is true but I am surprised that Moe would even bother saying it, he is to lazy to even try putting something in.

Not sure we should be taking advice from a man who killed someone while driving drunk.

Scotch Moe has an opinion.
