I’m no maths genius, but this wouldn’t stop 15 year olds. Just those under 15.
I think it’s perfectly normal to restrict things from kids and young teens that may be damaging. The same is done for other types of media like tv, movies, music etc.
Social media is more insidious in that, instead of art trying to inspire emotions, it is weaponising our emotions and addiction against us. Many adults can’t handle it, but they can make their own mind up kids, we should protect as they can’t make an informed decision.
They aren’t though, they are easily manipulated, and the effects of kids spending time alone on “social” Media is having a lasting effect with depression, lack of real interaction with the world, even showing up as lack of problem solving learning situations. Lack of outdoor activity (due to psychologic developed apps that maintain engagment) is showing up as lack of spatial body awareness. The brain changes by actual physical activity and real world interactions, and they find the brain is no longer being optimized. Its just bad all around until the brain is properly formed.

Yeah, parents can totally keep up against corporations that employee dozens or hundreds of people to push the exact opposite /s

bruh fully grown adults aren’t smart enough to use social media safely
