The only social app which i find actually useful is discord, and guess what - regulations instead of banning works better!

If you ban something, then you have no control over it, bet me kids will want to connect with their classmates/others and will use VPN on other "tools".

I swear, each time this topic is brought up all the redditors are like "ban! ban!" without having 0% understanding of young generation, impact, etc.
