@thomasfuchs It's a myriad of failures.

Clearly, parents as a category want to park their kids in front of screens and be left alone, despite the dangers. They're probably giving kids their access to these apps.

Legislators aren't properly regulating dangerous content and people who distribute it. That's not going to change due to the amount of money involved.

And kids are seemingly too lazy to use analog methods to communicate and/or entertain themselves.

Not sure there is a solution.
