    There’s a big difference between doing something and doing the right thing. Why didn’t they put more pressure on the parents to teach their kids how to use the Internet? That seems to be the obvious starting point.

      This response reminds me of that of the opponents to stricter gun laws in the US. “Just enforce the laws that are on the books!” is what they say but that obviously isn’t working as we have more and more gun violence to the point that it’s the number one cause of death for those under 18.

      What makes you think parents know anything better about social media than their kids? It’s obviously rotting people’s brains all over the planet and some sort of intervention is needed. We’ve made it this long as a species without social media, and yet after a little more than a decade with it, we’re at each other’s throats ready to end the whole experiment.
