Kids are sad and have problems, people think this is because of cellphones, so they want to take away the kid's cellphones, but maybe kids are sad because of other problems.

In general, there's been lots of talk and bills related to regulating social media, a year or two ago it was "ban tik tok", now it's regulate social media and take away kid's cellphones. Lot's of talk about it, lots of time on the evening news about it. Meanwhile, nobody does anything about the big problems and the evening news wont mention them.
