New social policy: if you watch videos or take calls on speakerphone in public, your devices are confiscated and destroyed.

I propose the reverse. Everyone who complains about the use of speakerphone in public gets imprisoned. For prejudice against people with age-related hearing loss. There is NO such thing as a quiet public place. Doors, footsteps, loud chatting, squeaks, clunks, bangs, over-loud music. Holding the phone to my ear results in my ear opening at least two unwanted apps, usually terminating the call prematurely as well. Even 30 years ago, you could see people running from a public place in order to find somewhere quiet enough for the phone call. "Excuse me I have to take a call". And even then with their hand over their other ear straining to make out the sound coming from the phone in the quietest place they could find. Taking a call on a speakerphone in public is not rude. The rude people are those who complain about it. The phone call only lasts 25 seconds. The rudeness of people whining about it lasts forever.
