Reasonable, now we have to wait for the ban for under 18. And one hopeful day the complete ban and mass jailing of anyone who had anything to do with the big social media networks of today.

Social media is a cancer. What categorized the golden age of the internet? Higher intellectual barrier to entry. A non-centralized ecosystem. I am more than interested in any legislation that might push for conditions that facilitate these to arise. Anything removing power from tech companies is my #1 ballot motivator.
