I agree with this author. It might seem far fetched that a ban might drive them toward the dark web, but we won't know until it happens, and then we probably still won't know.

I research the harm that can come to teenagers on social media. I don’t support a ban
The appeal of a ban lies in its simplicity. But complex social problems rarely yield to simple technological solutions.

A young man standing on a paved square, wearing a shite shirt with a collar and black bowtie, a black thigh-length overcoat, a black bowler hat, white silk gloves, and… trainer shoes! He's also holding onto a cane in his left hand and tilting his hat with his right hand.

A woman in a black 3/4 length overcoat, blue jeans, and orange platform shoes stands peering down at her phone. Behind her is a section of the wall of a building painted with graffiti by Nathan Bowen featuring a heavily-stylised British guardsman "soldier' with a bearskin cap in the pattern and colours of the British Union flag, a red tunic, and white trousers and boots. The guardsman is holding a white sign that reads, "Are you inspired"

A middle-aged woman outside the cinema looks at a piece of paper she's holding in front of her phone. She is wearing a brown coat and a blue and white roll-neck jumper, and has a white tote bag reflecting yellow light and which has a dark shoulder strap. Beyond her, in the panel window are the words, "Central Cinema" in large red neon letters. In the left panes of the window, people can be seen walking past a door in a white building.
