> A report finds a third of newborns use devices for more than three hours, despite government advice that under-twos have no screen time at all

Disgusting :(

That said, I can't read the article, paywalled. Anyone have a working link?

What's going to happen to those poor babies do you think?
The public doesn't even have the capacity to support all the babies that are outright abused. A lot of researchers will get more notches on their precious CV but let's be real, if anyone gave a shit about random babies then screen time is so far down the list that they're never going to get there under any rational prioritization of who needs assistance.
They’ll be sold software to correct the damage.
Gen Z is the first generation to score lower on standardized tests than previous generations.

I mean that probably has more to do with basically shutting schools down for a year or more tbh.
