@tama@aoir.social Hi,
thanks for the reply.
It took years for the society to realize the harms of smoking and act upon it.
(and as you say, the harms were relatively easy to research and agree upon).
We don't have (yet) the same research years for Social Media .
But I think agree that in their present form, Social Media have harmful effects (that you call euphemistically "carrying risks") .
and yes, they have advantages too (communication, entertainment ...).

@tama@aoir.social The arguments against the ban (yours and Emily's) rest on the fact that we can regulate the social media and they can become better and safer. I think that a ban is a regulation: If the Social Media target children /young people as a market, let them come up with products which are safe in first place.
