    Just the next step in removing the first amendment.
  • Why do we even need parents anymore when we have our Federal government to do the parenting? Gotta love the nanny state.

    You know this will be used as a weapon against specific voices.
  • I love how the first senator doesnt even mention the amounts of young teen boys who have constant suicidal ideation and who are peer pressured into bullshit or who have actuality attempted to take their life. Why is he only giving statistics that target young teen girls and the LGBT? If youre going to mention the amount of teen kids who commit suicide, at least mention teen boys/young men as well.
  • These teens parents need to seriously examine what their chilldren are doing. My sons have safe gusrds in place to control their childrens access. As well as who has acess to them. Just say no!
  • The government should be held accountable. The government brought technology into our public offices, and then into our childrens classrooms. The government told us how much easier life would be with technology. The government is accountable.

    There should be a legal age for using social media
  • You guys have big tech almost perfect immunity and now that you realized you screwed up your back peddling. You can’t blame a company for giving access to a product. You need to blame the parents for not doing their jobs.
