Maybe you meant illicit drugs. Almost everyone I know of consumes some type of drug.

Your idea seems similar to China's recent policy, restricting access to online games for younger people.

What are your thoughts on that Chinese law? I’m fascinated to see the effects - positive or negative.

I’m torn on it, because it seems incredibly illiberal and suffocating, and I would have despised it as a teen, but it’s the only legislation of its type I’ve seen anywhere in the world. I genuinely believe it’s well intentioned.

I'm not arguing about censoring anything. Just add regulation to make "engagement"-funded business models unprofitable, which will kill the underlying motivation to make social media addictive.
