Similarly, blocking youth from #socialmedia may ensure that they are *ONLY* exposed to toxic societal groups without an easy ability to reach beyond a broken part of society.
It's not only social media. Topic-specific forums can do that, but if a social media network is their chosen medium to connect and communicate, then blocking it only serves to maintain and propagate toxic and broken parts of society.

I also think there is a general under-estimation of a "sickness" in groups in society which exhibits in things like falsely proclaimed and enforced "normals", arbitrary demands and mob behavior.
#SocialMedia gets attacked for beong harmful. In case of a malicious algorith it is. But exposure of #toxic behavior already present in society is a path towards healthier society, so blocking #SocialMedia merely hides the problem.

“When deranged leaders invoke divine catastrophe as a political instrument, it is not only their enemies who are consumed. We will all be the victims of Netanyahu’s plagues and Trump’s bombing of Iran to the stone ages, unless other leaders place limits on these two madmen”
