The problems we face as a society are not isolated. Social media is a known cause of increasing political polarization and extremism. Perhaps banning exposure to online spaces in young people is a way of bringing some semblance of sanity back to our world.

Australia wants to ban kids from social media—does the U.S. have the political momentum to even consider this as a possible solution? What would it take, in the face of everything else, to convince people this is an issue that needs solutions?

Even genuine, in-person interactions between teenagers, are mediated by technology and social media. They're showing each other their phones, gaming, or talking about who posted what. As a society, are we okay with profit-driven companies having so much control over our children's culture and lives?
