What if the panic over teens and tech is totally wrong?

Honestly, this is the question people should be asking in response. I totally get the gut reaction against censorship, but I don't think anyone would agree that Facebook, Xitter, etm. are innocent, neutral parties in all of this.

Part of the issue (as the article points out) is that those companies have been allowed to essentially craft people's internal narrative, often amplifying our worst impulses and inclinations—all in service of making the black line go up for investors.

So is banning social media for teens the correct path forward? Maybe in the short term, but until we direct the governance to the companies creating the problems in the first place, we're almost certainly going to have this conversation again in the future.
