can we just ban people in general instead?
Now we're getting closer to the root. 👍

I'm perfectly fine switching back to a "feature phone" aka dump phone that takes phone calls and sends texts. If it also could be used as a music/podcast playiner, that'd be great too.
If you ban smartphones you better make a better replacement portable pc in the palm of my hand then.
There are 6, 7 and 8 inch laptops available for all the on-the-go computing you need.

And then what? Go back to the stone age?
Kids waiting to get picked at school and their parents have emergency, how are they gonna inform the others to get picked up? Are they gonna just let that kid suck it up and wait for hours, just like the good old times?

Even better, let's make being happy mandatory.
Done. What's next on my list?
so much bullshit
Social media, algorithms and echo chambers they create are 80% of the problem degrading societies.
You mean it's not the genocide, exploitation, imperialism, etc? It's just social media? Peak capitalist apologism.
You understand that social media helps create and reinforce those things right? Social media has lead to the fall of America into fascism. It might have if social media didn't exist but this rise in fascism is directly related to social media and the way that it fucks with peoles heads.
Why is the left so intent on becoming Luddites? What the fuck is this timeline?
Because luddism is good. But this article aint it.
No it isn’t. Technology is the evolutionary adaptation of humanity. It would be like a tiger cutting off its claws, or a rabbit breaking its own legs.
This left wing Luddite attitude is simply fueled by fucking tribalism because it wasn’t really anywhere to be found until the tech bros turned republican.
