Where do you get the idea from that your assessment of something as “toxic” (whatever that means exactly) gives you the right to stop others from doing it?
Have you considered what would happen if others did the same thing to you?
Thousands of new regulations promulgated every year, many of them deeply invasive into aspects of life that were previously considered the prerogative of individuals or families to decide (in this case, what children are and aren’t allowed to do).
And after two decades of watching this authoritarian and paternalistic process unfold, I’m still unable to point to a single aspect of society that has been improved by it in any way.

I would make an exception for basic protocols not associated with a single company or revenue stream, like IRC, though for educational reasons.

Yes yes, I am fully aware that any negative sentiment towards social media makes young and insecure people terribly sad.
