Cigarette companies were explicitly banned from advertising to children for this exact reason. I don’t think this is a good example, because if they’re comparable then social media should be banned from advertising to children also.

If hiring psychologists was why they were banned from advertising to children, why can Mattel advertise to children?

For the reason
that their products are harmful
, not that they had hired psychologists.

Yeah that's my whole point, psychological mass manipulation is legal.
