social media bans and other flavors of internet censorship are the alcohol prohibition of the 21st century. the underlying problems are real but the solution is moralistic nonsense.
The social media ban is the Platonic ideal of contemporary politics:
An ill-conceived, superficial "we must do something" response to a serious systemic issue
The real harm it will cause terrifies me
Can it inspire us to create a better politics?

It’s actually awful to pretend to bereaved parents and to worried parents that this “ban” will stop cyber bullying. As this article suggests, it won’t at all, and could just make it less easy to find and manage.

Banning access to social media for young people is incredibly stupid. It won't work, technically. It will create new inequalities & barriers.

Despite the title, it's not about the environmental impacts of AI - it's about extreme tech oligarchy.
