> You're probably thinking of studies around social media use

Yes? Social media use is done through the internet? The vast majority of internet use for young teens is social media use.

I'm not sure what you mean by drawing the distinction between internet use and social media use.

> It isn't clear to me that internet filtering will combat any of what makes social media use such a mental health risk for teens.

I'm not suggesting that the government should be taking action through legal means.

I'm just saying some type of action should be taken.

I'm a really big fan of what Apple did with Screen Time & wish the implementation was better (it's super buggy on my device at least).

Apps that give people better power to control their own internet use is the way IMO.

They're two different terms that mean different things. Just because something is true for squares doesn't mean that it's true for rectangles even though squares are rectangles. Using the correct words matter because otherwise you are spreading misinformation and confusion.
