Chamath Palihapitiya

So that's the answer to your question.

Sax, jump in here.

Personal freedom and personal responsibility versus, hey, corporations may be knowingly doing things.

Parental responsibility in there as well.

Yeah.

What do you think, Sax?

The consensus, Chamath, is kids who use this two or three hours a day, this has been across many research studies, is that it's massively correlated with depression and anxiety and eating disorders, specifically in young girls.

If you get to two or three hours a day of this, so that correlations, I think pretty well established, you pretty famously said, Hey, and you worked at Facebook, so you saw this coming.

You were uploading at the time, Chamath.

This is not your only fans.

Proof of age.

I think I'll just give myself the final word here on behalf of the group.

It's obviously addicting.

It's obviously the industry has not policed itself, nor would they police themselves, because they want to get people addicted now, so they're addicted when they're adults.

The rest of the world has realized this.

Australia now has 16 enforced, Malaysia 16, other countries are right behind them, Spain, Germany, UK.

And what should happen here in the United States is this should be done with the handset manufacturers.

If Android and Apple showed leadership with Facebook and said, we're going to, by default, when you buy a phone, you're going to have to age verify kids under a certain age, which you kind of do already when you create a family plan like you did.

We could solve this problem.

And then parents would opt in to giving their kids access to this.
