>Assuming banning phones and social media is feasible, which it is not

That'd need elaboration. Outright, it appears to be a nonsensical, baseless claim.

>Video games are out, because they are obviously bad.

Obviously bad? Is this some sort of weaseling?

Videogames aren't new. They have been around for several decades now.

If they were "obviously bad", sure we'd know by now?

OTOH, there's a mountain of evidence social media is harming our children, and should be banned STAT.

We can appropriately label it an emergency.



OP here: perhaps I should have added an /s next to the video game bit. To be clear, being a game developer who has made games for kids, I do not actually think they are obviously bad.


Yeah, I of course did not read it as sarcasm.

Sarcasm is really hard to do properly, and it's harder in written form.
