On: EU opens child safety probes of Facebook and Instagram, citing addictive design

Of course there are tons of open questions, yet you made a huge false dichotomy.

I would bet that most people agree with banning sales of alcohol, cigarettes and opioid to kids.

But it would be silly to classify opioid use as gambling, which was the proposal. Figuring out the real issue, and banning that for kids, might well be a good idea. But to my mind the thinking from parents is still very open around what kids should be allowed to do, so it might be too soon.

The argument was to treat it like gambling.

Not to classify it as gambling.
