    I can get behind the spirit of the bill, but I wouldn’t hold my breath when it comes to enforcement.

      The spirit behind the bill is “We need more control over the children so we can indoctrinate them ourselves!”

        Or just let them discover random fucking propaganda on their own and bad examples on social media and become an Andrew Tate jr by the age of 17 or some extremist little fucker, or just be an indecent human being if you don’t want such an extreme example.

        This bill will do jack shit, but so are the parents who put smartphones in their kids hands as early as possible and let them browse the internet unsupervised.

        Just to be clear I do not agree with the bill in this form and the whole “provide an ID” bullshit, but I really don’t think young children should be allowed on social media.

          Florida has been banning books talking about racism and LGBT people from school library. I guarantee to you, this is not about preventing anyone from becoming extremist fuckers.

            I know you are right and they are just using the “save our children” sentiment to manipulate people. On the other hand I just really-really hate social media and the younger generation should be better off without it.

              What really should happen is a very thorough widespread PSA campaign across all media including social media itself to educate parents about the risks of social media and how to set up filters so that children don’t get to access just about anything on the internet.

        When it comes to Florida, sounds about right.
