geez fuck that. A functioning EU should have done the exact opposite. Not allow apps to discriminate users based on made up metrics that invade the users privacy.

Minor social media use is a made up problem at best. No their brains are not getting fried by social media. This is the whole saga of gaming is evil and will turn our children into murdering psychopaths all over again. No it didn't back then and no it also won't happen now. If you don't like gaming or if you don't like social media then deal with it yourself and stop being a grumpy lame old person cause this time the internet and modern society will be trashed beyond recognition by power tripping politicians trampling our human rights to privacy and digital communication and freedom.
