California has famously bad positions on anything related to morality but this is great. The ghouls that run social media companies know their product is addictive. They know what it does to people and also to kids. Anything that hurts them helps us.

I disagree, this is diverting the social responsibility back to the mailmen. This won't solve any of the underlying issues that cause these problems.

It's just the modern form of bathroom walls. The issues won't change, just the medium. I guess for the highly anti-coporaate who just want to see trillionaires stuck to it, it's exhilarating. But the things about many of these "think of the children" bills is that children are rarely the subject of the bill.

IMO this is peak sweeping under the rug of the psychological and sociological problems the modern youth face. But that's hard to solve. pointing fingers is easy.
