There's still a double digit percentage of parents that oppose the ban. The only way to make a ban work without parental support is requiring a video camera to be running constantly doing facial verification while the app is running, completely unfeasible.

Neither group SMS nor shared email lists have the algorithmic dopamine tweaking that are the root of most of the harm.
Exactly You can ban platforms but you can't ban communication
