How about parents actually watch their kids and prevent them from going on Tik-Tok and other social media sites? It's too easy to let phones do the babysitting.

Typical response from Liberal governments like Ontario: blame everyone else for your own problems (and sue them over it).

I just tried to put in a 60 min limit and my child freaked out. She claims her peer groups just sit and watch TikTok during lunch.

So as a parent I can make my child the one that stands out from their peers. And for many teens being different is their worst fear. So I don’t see how this comes down to personal responsibility of the parent.

Alternatively these apps have been designed to be addictive and evoke dopamine hits. Why can’t we make it the responsibility of the app companies to stop creating experiences that have massive negative societal impacts?
