Social media has been the boogeyman for almost a decade now, and (red) states are at least sending out trial balloons regarding banning minors from accessing social media[1]. Prior to that, it was porn, and now we have age verification required by law.

I'd argue that AI is a much bigger boogeyman than Instagram/Tiktok/Pornhub ever was.

[1] No judgement of whether this is a good idea or not; in some sense it probably is; but I feel the current discourse is reactionary/political and not really about actual people's actual well being.
