Josh MacAlister asserts that 'the evidence is mounting that children doomscrolling for hours a day is causing widespread harm.' He emphasizes the urgent need for protective legislation similar to 'seatbelt' laws for children's social media use.
MacAlister highlights the difficult position parents face: 'Parents are in an impossible bind over whether to ostracise their child from social media or expose them to the harms and addiction of content.' This underscores the complexity of managing children's social media access.
