What’s the argument against a ban? I don’t see a downside to banning social media for kids. In theory they would be forced to build in-person social connections and local communities. After 16 they can expand into the social media space. Personally, I think it should be tied to something like drinking age.
In practice the same system can be used for banning people from social media and communications. Shadow bans etc. Other use in future may be social score.
What’s legal today, may be not legal tomorrow. People will be self censoring.
This gives more leverage for older people over young people, let’s not pretend: people are selfish.

Think of the shareholders! I mean, think of the children who will have to go through that awful process!
