    The concept of social media can’t be banned. Kids are using Office365 live notes as social media.

    Their needs to be better parenting and education.

    A country would need to ban the companies providing the services, not ban social media.

      It’s the addictive algorithms of social media websites that’s being banned for kids, not the idea of using the internet to communicate. If social media was still just posts in chronological order I don’t think anyone would care.

    A lot of the parents I know use tablets, social media, and YouTube to keep their kids busy and from annoying them. Maybe we need parents to actually parent or not have kids if they truly can’t handle it.
