Where do you get the idea from that your assessment of something as “toxic” (whatever that means exactly) gives you the right to stop others from doing it?

Have you considered what would happen if others did the same thing to you?

Yes yes, I am fully aware that any negative sentiment towards social media makes young and insecure people terribly sad.

Ad hominem through the back door coupled with missing the point entirely.

"Any negative sentiment" is very different from legislation and enforcement armed with machine guns and grenades.

Then, what is "social media"? It could be anything at all and it's likely to be defined as anything the king doesn't like, because... what else?

> I would make an exception for basic protocols

Once you are "extremely in favor of blocking young people" nobody would ask you about your subtle nuances, that's a given. I would suggest expressing only extremely cautious optimism because you obviously don't understand what kind of forces are involved here.

The kind of forces that want to see fewer teenage girls attempt suicide?
