None of these sound like they are a very big problem compared to many alternative things people do. People talk about social media as though it's lead paint.
I particularly liked that one Facebook study that is usually taken out of context.
> young men having porn addition and having no ambition to interact with real women
this made me lol so much. porn addition is not the cause, but the consequence.
do you have any idea how hard it is for males to find a willing mate nowadays?
most females have men fighting over them, while most men must always do the fighting to get even one low-quality female in their entire life.
just because thing A was (unjustly) demonized doesn't mean demonizing thing B is without merit, even more so when thing A and thing B are completely unrelated.
I agree with the OP that the ban is woefully undemocratic, and that banning it for children only is a grave misstep.
I think what they should ban instead is recommendation algorithms. If I subscribe to a source, and explicitly unsubscribe from another, it should be illegal to withhold some of the first’s postings and shove the second’s in my face. This should be a no-brainer and has nothing to do with the age of the user; but it's easier to just ban the people who, as OP correctly noted, have no representation and no recourse.
It's so tiring.
