While I agree with it on principle, I disagree on the State forcing children not to own phones. It should be up to thr parents
I think focus should be on nudging parents instead of dictating, but honestly parents are failing at raising their kids without smartphones and healthy screen time.
I would rather settle for massive information campaign and reaching out to influencers to promote a lifestyle. Make it a social stigma where parents are made to feel shame for allowing kids smartphones.
Excellent idea. Childhood shouldn’t be tethered to a black mirror.
And disobeying children should be gathered in konzentrationlagers where they will be taught to behave as the State says.
