What do you think ofThe French President said he will ban social media use for kids under 15yo.

Have there been studies about this? If kids are more precocious because they’re exposed to more social media early does it make them smarter more productive more happy?
Or is it the opposite?

It's like the USA's dalliance with Prohibition and the War on Drugs. Trying to restrict access to something the public wants only accentuates the desire for it. If anyone thinks kids will be positively affected or stopped by an outright ban, they don't understand the human (or animal) condition.

Instead of brute force, education takes longer, more effort, and offers the feeling of less control, but it always pays the greatest dividends.
