Sure, we give the kids alcohol, let them drive, let them vote- wait we don't!? What do you mean there's always been these kinds of differences!?

I wonder if some of those critics are by an odd coincidence funded by phone related entities.

I suspect it would be more likely social media companies.

BTW a bit unrelated (unless it is social media companies behind it), in the comments I saw somebody against the ban mentioning school shootings and worrying about not having contact with their child. I think banning smart phones and allowing "dumb" ones would be a good compromise for that specific issue.
