Said it before, but to reiterate:
"Ban social media for under 16s"
"internet-free phones for children"
These ideas may have worked 20 years ago, but that horse bolted so long ago, it's galloped around the planet and is now approaching the stable from the opposite direction

The real reason why Miriam Cates (Tory MP) & her ilk want to ban social media / internet for young people is that they want ALL of their political opinions to be moulded by [ever-increasingly conservative] mainstream media. The younger, internet-savvy generations are MUCH better informed & critical.
Cates is an extremist bigot even by the standards of the current Tory party. She wants to stop young people from eg encountering supportive queer communities or information on safe sex and abortion
