"Dumb" and "insane" are thoughtless and shallow positions to take.

It's fine to disagree with the EU's stance (I probably do. I'm not sure yet) but it's not a good look to dismiss it without some recognition that a reasonable person might think this is a worthwhile position to take given the known harms of social media.

How is that insane? Maybe "every free consumer tech product is designed to be addictive" is the problem, as the cost of using the app is paid in other, much less explicit and even much less researched ways.
