Or things like cigarettes, guns, driver’s licenses, junk food, etc.

Even for those though, opinions are all over the place: Everything from "no rules" to "kids should be allowed to own drink alcohol under the supervision of their parents" to “it’s fine for adults to drink, but not kids” to “alcohol should obviously be banned for everyone."

For most of these we settled into a happy medium that generally everyone feels is acceptable, but we still change our opinions semi-frequently: Cigarettes being a great example in our lifetime.

I get the argument that social media is probably closer to junk food than to firearms, but:

a) Plenty of people argue that junk food should be banned for kids too! Or at least tightly regulated.

b) It’s definitely not consensus opinion that social media is more like junk food than, say, cigarettes. People will vehemently argue either side of that.
