We live in a world where screens have taken over. Our children’s are showing early sign of anxiety, depression, eye issues , wearing glasses at young age because of being exposed to screens for long time.

Cigarettes had the same effect. Before it was normalised and people use to smoke anywhere and everywhere but then when scientists realised the harmful effects, it was regulated. Do you support regulating screentime as it has harmful effects of childrens and adults?

FYI- Australia banned social media for under 16 which is highly successful and other countries are trying to learn from Australia on how they defeated big tech.

    Why do people focus on the screens and not what’s on the screens? That’s what needs to be regulated

    There is no time limit that will render propaganda ineffective

    The screen isn’t the problem, it’s the antagonists on the other side

      Normal people focus on the root cause. The root cause is screen. TV is also a problem , not just mobile screen. Childrens should not be watching TV continuously for 5-6hours. I think government should make it mandatory screen time of 2 hours because people like you who dont know if they are addicted to screen or not so they blame Facebook Instagram etc. If screen time is regulated big tech can’t do anything. They can make their apps addictive as possible but with screen time there will be a filter on top of it. Now you understand why screen time should be regulated. Its time to check if you’re addicted to it or not
