I would be thrilled with that. Any extra time we can buy for brain development before exposing them to social medias pretentious poison would be a win.

You do know they are talking about some sort of age verification in order to create an account right?
You think you’re going to keep kids who’ve grown up with the tech to not bypass security measures and when they do….. what’s the punishment because no punishment equals nullification from the start.. how much is this going to cost them? Who sets the regulations? Can they be changed? By whom and what mechanism?

In Australia? Probably just put people in the old Covid camps.

You are way too sheltered. My sixth grade kid was trying to download vpns to get around school WiFi restrictions at 11.
Age verification lol. Do most 13 year olds have state IDs or passports? You want to send that info to Facebook or Snapchat?
It’s not just poor kids that have this problem, like you seem to think. You want to cleanse the unwashed masses from their vice, but you aren’t getting that this is any strata of society, and again, enabled by parents.

Now's when all the, "small government conservatives" of the board get to show they're just as hypocritical as a prog when it comes to rules for thee, not for me.
Muh, "There should be a law!"
Imagine, after seeing the dystopian hellscape they put their citizens through during covid, and saying, "yep, checks out."
People are so gullible and stupid, and that comes from someone who thinks social media is brain rot for humanity, yet a driving force for change and breaking down the propaganda machine. If you agree with this and call yourself anything except a staunch progressive, you're a walking around jackass and I hope you catch a felony so you can't vote. Holy shite this place is full of retards.

Don’t all the video game consoles have some kind of social media attached the them? They may have to keep kids from using an Xbox. That is also a good thing. Those little people have better reflexes than I do.

You frickin nailed it on the head. Reading the comments and it's fricking baffling how many are in favor of this.

Plus you are not subject to the First and Second Amendment until you’re 18.
Not correct.
Children have First Amendment rights to access information. The issue comes up often in school library book challenges and cases where kids are punished by public school officials for social media posts.
The Supreme Court held in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) that students do not “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” “In our system, students may not be regarded as closed-circuit recipients of only that which the State chooses to communicate.”
There are limits, but chilluns under 18 have First Amendment rights.

They haven't figured that out yet, That's who the left is, just pass shite and figure it out later

There will be no way to actually stop this. There is always a way around internet blockages.
Jumping a firewall is pretty easy by itself much less that ID check stuff that’s simple to get around too

Agree, but it shouldn't be on the government to enforce it. Parents should enforce it.
Why not? Government enforces the smoking and drinking age. Should they not enforce those age restrictions as well?

Agree, but it shouldn't be on the government to enforce it. Parents should enforce it.
Cigarettes? Alcohol? Drugs? Gambling?
What makes social media special?

Just outlaw the entire internet for everyone as far as I'm concerned.

Completely agree, and the rest of the modern world should follow suit. Social media, as a whole for anyone under 18 has been a net negative. Not one good thing comes from children using it, and anything you can actually come up with can be done online without social media. It’s a poisonous cancerous and dangerous tool that’s being used to take advantage of kids.

Remember, you're on social medis right now.

I'm conflicted on this one. On one hand, social media is a problem, particularly for young people. On the other, frick more government regulations, this should be a parenting issue.
I think you nailed it on the head with this one. I the exact same way. There's got to be an answer somewhere in between the two extremes.

We ban cigarettes and alcohol from kids, why not the most destructive addiction of them all?
While we’re at it, let’s ban sugar till you’re 18. Would help solve a lot of problems

Were you able to walk up to a store and buy a dirty magazine as a kid? Maybe it was just me that couldn't
