If Social Media sites can't moderate their platforms to accommodate the kids, then that platform should be shut down imo.

Social media is not a right, it’s a privilege. Under 16s don’t need social media at that age for any reason.

Same for a lot of adults. Include myself in that. I’ve tried to be more conscious of my time on social media but found it’s so easy to get sucked in and get lost in it. I found it also started to impact and started making me question why I didn’t have certain things in my life instead of actually appreciate things I do have. I decided to cull most social media after that, as I really don’t need it.
