Maybe we will be able to get decent dumbphones again? All the ones being made now suck, as far as I can tell. OTOH it might be enough to use kiosk mode to lock down a smartphone to only have dumb functionality.

Banning computers for children looks anti human rights. You can always set ISP settings for a kid targeted device so they can't install anything outside a subset of software (most of them are propietary anyway) and with the DNS filters set to anything with porn/gambling and the like.

Please note: this is a guideline. For parents. Not a law, there will be no DNS filtering or anything by the goverment or ISP:s, but parents of course may install whatever they want to the devices they give to their children.
While I don't see it realistic in any way; Personally I would ban all social media on mobile devices (phones, pads) period. I would permit them only on full fledged laptops and desktops. Basicly putting the reset to the way things were in 2007.
