I believe the responsibility falls on you to moderate yourself (not some organization like govt to set rules for everyone). But I know it's hard. Time limits on iPhone were not enough for me. But https://one-sec.app/ really helped... Forcing me to pause for 10 seconds every time was pretty much all it took...

You're in a war with the entire adtech industry. Most people simply can't win this war. Only solution I know of is hard bans with screen time passwords you personally don't know.
Adtech is basically a tsunami against human impulses. You're blaming everyone who gets engulfed by a tsunami that they obviously should have known that when the ocean recedes, a wave is coming, so it's their fault they drown. Unlike an actual tsunami, adtech is not a physical inevitability, so quit it with the simping.
