    Thank you for making this information available! It totally confirms what I’m saying. It’s more important to appear that people are “doing something to protect kids” than actually doing something to protect kids like becoming part of their lives and asking them what they really feel and how theyr’e doing. I do not believe social media is any more evil than any other outlet or influence in their lives.

      They did the same exact thing with vapes. It was never about the children - they were just a convenient talking point. Data shows teen usage has dropped significantly, but they’re still pushing that narrative because most people aren’t aware. Same thing with the black market THC vapes - some agencies are STILL making the claim that it was from regular vapes. Our government is fucking sleazy and they don’t give a shit about the truth or the people.
