@manlycoffee There are many things to consider and change. The will to do so is only slowly kindling. Addiction of doom-scrolling is largely age independent I believe. Trivial to add increasing pauses as you scroll.

@NicelyManifest Yeah, I proposed that before we ban social media by age, instead, let's have a blanket ban on auto-scrolling videos. This would probably capture the "harm" that we want the under 16s to be shielded from, but older individuals are not immune from it, so they'd also benefit from the ban.

@NicelyManifest @manlycoffee Why is it age-dependent? Because you can get grandfathered in that way?
