When these lawmakers and pundits talk about “protecting youth mental health” what they mean is that they think IG is turning kids gay and trans and so we need to block their access to the internet/cell phones completely so they don’t become trans or gay. That’s what these laws are about.
Jonathan Haidt Promoted a Fringe Theory on Trans Youth — Assigned
The author of “The Anxiety Generation” told Margaret Hoover for PBS that young people become trans due to peer contagion effects. There is no evidence for this claim.

None of this is about protecting kids. The co-sponsor of the Kids Online Safety Act said we need to pass it to protect kids from “the transgender” in society. Jonathan Haidt, the right wing reactionary who has boosted these laws alongside the Heritage Foundation has spread anti trans conspiracies
Social Media Bans Aren’t About Protecting Kids. They’re About Censorship and Surveillance
US politicians want to replicate Australia's draconian law prohibiting children under 16 from using social media. But experts say such bans will actually make kids 'significantly less safe online.'

Enacting mass surveillance/censorship is a gift to big tech, these laws do NOTHING to challenge big tech’s business model, instead they reward them w the ability to collect even more data on users including children. They will put smaller and less profit driven platforms and forums out of business.
The Latest Government Gift to Big Tech and Corporate Power
Lawmakers claim new age verification laws are about ‘child safety’ – but, in reality, they expand surveillance and silence dissent.

Congress is about to make a huge push into online ID verification, entrenching the power of big tech and mandating that they collect even MORE data on users. Mass surveillance/censorship laws are being framed as “child safety” but they’re really abt at removing LGBTQ ppl, repro justice info, etc.
