    To an extent in the type of individualistic society we have the companies can't be blamed, they're only concerned about themselves.

    To an extent a belligerent relationship with the companies is a good sign, it'd show that the Government isn't keeping them sweet, so I'm going to give Norma Foley some praise here. Very few people with sense doubt social media use can be harmful for children, hopefully we have a Government that will take them on to some extent and protect children's mental health. It's not a lot to ask really. There has been a shameful lack of regulation to date.
