      I’m on board. We all know the only acceptable uses of social media are rating the hotness of college classmates, coordinating hookups, and job searching. Strictly the purview of the 18-24 demographic.

      Parents rights so long as it is not a parent’s right to have their child recognized by their child’s chosen pronouns, a parent’s right to have the child fed a free school lunch, or a parent’s right to have their child taught state-of-the-art science and not religious/political nonsense. We don’t want those kinds of parents’ rights.

    Why is this so hard to do? All parents need to do is restrict their kids phone to a non-admin role so they can’t install apps, set up a vpn somewhere and connect the phone to it, forward all the vpn internet traffic thru a web filter that blocks social media sites whether it’s on cellular or wifi.

      This is so the kids stop reading about how fucked up DeSantis (and politicians in general) is, it’s not about their safety. That’s why it passed.

        It’s also another brick in Florida’s road to queer genocide. If a gay or trans child has bigoted parents, social media is often the only way they can learn about the existence of other people like them.

      Ah yes, censoring the youth is always the best way forward

        It’s been well documented how bad for kids social media is. Also, not having access to social media is not the same as being censored.

          Its been well documented how bad it is for all people who use it, not just minors.

      I’ll believe it when I see a Florida loot box ban.

      Absent clear signals they ACTUALLY care about stopping predatory business behavior directed at minors (you know, like directly targeting kids with advertisements) and protecting anyone’s privacy (much less that of youths), I’ll assume this is part of an agenda at building Good Christian Soldiers.
