I think part of the problem is that we decided at some point that 18 is an age where you become an adult, which for some things in life is honestly way too young and for some things maybe too old but nuance is hard.

It seems to me that giving young kids devices is a bad idea in general?

I'm not sure what the age is when not having one becomes a greater liability for them than having one but I really feel strongly that creating laws around this is clumsy and the issue is still generally poorly understood.

Let's not create laws around stuff we don't really understand well yet?

I'm not a parent so I wish I didn't have a dog in this fight but legislation like this forces me too.
