I support this here in Norway too.
There is no conflict between being nostr only and wholeheartedly supporting that kids are kept away social media platforms. I mean, nobody should be on those platforms..
These addiction machines of surveillance capitalism are obviously harmful for us adults even with fully developed frontal cortices. Imagine the harm it does on millions (billions?) of kids in the most critical years of development, and what the opportunity cost is. We are losing out on the collective cognitive development of our species. This is in line with arguments put forth by people who have put down a lot of solid work on the topic, such as Desmurget, Twenge, Haidt etc.
Adults need open protocols and free speech. Kids of all ages need to be outdoors playing, doing fun&games, fight and resolve issues, push limits, do stupid stuff they can learn from.
There are no good reasons kids should have smartphones. Parents are simply justifying their own poor choices by hiding behind false claims. We all know it, smartphones are helpful babysitters when we're tired as hell, but it comes with a significant cost that is mostly hidden in a vail of low time preference.
I'm dying on this hill. Onwards.
