    i believe it is good that children are kept away from social media apps, they provably have a negative impact on them. but i am not sure a government ban is the right way. i also don’t know how this is enforcible without massively invading people’s privacy.

      One of their intentions is to massively invade people’s privacy, so I think they’ll go with that option :)
