Social media algorithms cause addiction.
In our children and young people;
Governments seeking an interdiction.

Under 16 total ban some people's conviction.
But we need consultation with lay people.
Social media algorithms cause addiction.

But do bans work? A social constriction
That says no to all those young people.
Governments seeking an interdiction.

Maybe under 13 would be a depiction
Of those that need protection from evil?
Social media algorithms cause addiction.

There is a need for some sort of restriction,
The companies don't care about the little people.
Governments seeking an interdiction.

Parent blaming by companies a dereliction
Of their own responsibility to young people.
Social media algorithms cause addiction
Governments seeking an interdiction.
