I think it's just it should be treated the same way as a drug to be, like because it is a drug. And so that is for me a a big, no go. You can use devices. You can use screens. You can play games within the limited like like, a real, like, limit. But consuming content through the day like, like we do on on TikTok or on reels, Instagrams, that that's a no go.
