If you are unable to empathise with people who support the ban and dismiss them (and me) as idiots then your political action is unlikely to be successful.

Every dad I know who works in tech supports some kind of restriction on social media/smartphones for kids. The argument is how to do it, not whether we should.

Speaking only for myself: worked in tech for 2+ decades. Teen kids. Don't support any kind of ban whatsoever. My job is to teach my kids about the world and innoculate them against the evil. They are going to be adults before long, and this is their time to learn. Bans don't help them learn, education does.

If the price of privacy is children, damn the children. We're having fewer (nowhere near few enough, but fewer) of them anyway, they should not be used as a reason to restrict everyone else. Especially as they become that everyone else after a few short years.

You are apparently "unable to empathize" with the people whose actions you are trying to restrict by force. Why should anybody empathize with you?
