> that the things that generally make humans unhappier are not things we are meant to do

citation needed. Also there are plenty of things that make humans "generally unhappy" but we all agree are good like exercise or cleaning up your home. Even if happiness was a valid metric for human condition then blanket banning "social media for <15" - whatever that means - is not a reasonable approach in any way.

The only sound argument here is purely utilitarian "we suck at governing so let's do something easy and maybe it'll work". It has nothing to do with human nature other than that we naturally suck at organizing policy.
