How hard up are you for Facebook? Like, there's a technical solution, sure. But a big part of social media's addictive quality is ease of access.
Making access annoying absolutely will curb teen use.
downloading and using a vpn is super easy now though?????
Sure, but what they're saying is that even a little bit of friction will make some people give up, and that kills the virality of things like social media
IDK... Where I live, a lot of things are blocked. And while there was a decline after the bans, the banned social media are NOWHERE close to being "dead" or "not viral".
