Oh I agree. I wouldn't want a stronger law. I'm just not too concerned with this one. I think if there are concerns with social media we should discuss how to solve them for everyone.
We generally say 16-21 you are an adult so fuck it, whatever happens to you is your fault and ignore the predatory nature of organizations.
We should outline the specific concerns and determine what, if any, steps we can take.
As an example, gambling. I think it's fair and reasonable to allow gambling. I think ensuring gambling isn't predatory is a reasonable limitation. I expect for most people it isn't a problem but I think providing help to gambling addicts is also reasonable. Social media should be viewed through a similar lens.
