Social media that tech workers in the 30s and 40s were exposed to was never any more intense than a bulletin board or a chat room.

Social media now is a very different beast. It's designed to be addictive, and it generates engagement through polarization.

Is banning social media for children a punishment for the child? Some parents would argue the opposite, that it's a good thing that the child isn't developed enough to realise yet.
