The onus is on the state to justify their control with science. They haven't done that and clearly you haven't done that either. You're literally just posting vibes.

Do I really need to point out that you yourself are "literally just posting vibes" ?

You didn't even bother investigating whether or not they had justified their stance with science. I'm not convinced you made it past the headline, much less read any of the content that article linked to.

The funny thing is I actually did read two of the studies I quickly found and which you too can find. But you seem more interested in adhering to a certain... vibe.

Have a nice day.

Edit: You know I was busy and totally forgot.

The very first result on my search engine, if you search for "effects of social media on children's mental health" is the HHS.gov website, specifically this page: https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/youth-mental-health/social-media/index.html

And wouldn't you know, right there are 5 separate papers cited to support 1. that social media is widely used; and 2 it "presents meaningful harm to youth"

Oh we got trouble, right here in River City. We need something to keep the kids moral after school.
