Should children under 12 be banned from using social media entirely? I've seen my own niece get hooked on short videos before she could even read properly, and the algorithm kept feeding her content she wasn't mature enough to process. Some parents argue that banning creates a digital divide, but I've noticed that kids who don't use these platforms seem to develop better real-world social skills. With growing evidence about attention spans and mental health, maybe strict age limits would help more than they hurt.
