The media really should be talking about the effect this is having on kids. We were already facing some problems with technology taking up what I believe to be too much time of kids' lives but now in many places they aren't allowed to just be kids. I don't have any children, but I was a child and remember what it's like. I think at least in USA we are going to see deep divisions between the states as far as this is concerned..
But the media will never report on this fairly because they don't report on anything fairly. If a particular news agency can weaponize this information to make the "other guys" look bad then they'll talk about it when if they had any ethics at all they should just be talking about it regardless.
Anyone who hasn't given up on the media by now is, in my opinion, permanently lost. We have to be our own media.
