That's like saying parents would give meth to their kids. Make the crime equivalent and you'll find they won't, or if they do, they won't have their kids for long.
Parents are obviously far too stupid to do what's in their children's best interests re social media and smart phones. That plus the general indifference most parents have to this kind of thing mandates state interference. Banning social media for them specifically is a pain for everyone involved, just ban the phones - simple.
How is it more enforceable? It seems far more clear cut than 'little kimmy has an iphone 74++ pro but can't have snapchat' or whatever stupid app predators are using in year X.

I have to say it sounds insane. 5 tabs of claude, back and forth from terminal to browser - and no actual workflow detailed. Are we to believe that claude is making changes in parallel to one codebase, and if so - why?
Per capita is a pretty useless stat. I'm much more interested in why there are particular cities where being stabbed is much more likely than in my rural village, per capita.
Cities are generally worse because that's where the organized crime is, and a nasty spiral of people carrying weapons because other people are carrying them.
And the government defrauding the English of their own homeland while pumping in misinformation by the petabyte while simultaneously calling everything else misinformation isn't hostile activity?
