It's really simple in the US: stop granting exemptions for the harm the content causes. Social media _is_ publishing. Expecting people to 'eat their vegetables' when only fast food is on offer is realistic, and flies in the face of all we know about the environmental drivers of public health.
Just because something is potentially harmful doesn't mean it should be illegal or otherwise prohibited.
That’s true. But it’s also often the case that we do choose to regulate harms so I’m not quite sure what the point you’re making is.
