HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 мар 2024
- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a controversial bill into law that bans certain minors from having social media accounts.
Under HB 3, which won't take effect until January of next year, children under 14 are prohibited from have their own accounts, while kids 14 and 15 must have parental permission to open an account.

If you don’t want your kids addicted to social media then maybe don’t give your kid a cell phone.
Exactly, parents should be responsible to buy phones to their kids until they are up in age, 14 or up.
@@MrCarloszeca make it 18
@@MrCarloszecamy kids are 14&10. Both have a cell phone, 10yo’s only works with wifi, parental controls. My 14yo just got a phone number and less restrictions. They have had phones for 4ish years.
Big government. That's Republicans for you.
@@maryjane4432 and you personally think the government should be coming in and telling you and your children what to do when it should be left up to you
Don't buy your kids the phone! Give them a flip phone! That would stop it!
My 15 year old son asked for a brick phone when his broke, I was so happy
Exactly, if parents are saying that they're giving their children phones for "safety and so that they can communicate with them", get them a "phone", they don't need the latest smartphone with six social media platforms and a hundred apps!
You can't Life360 a flip phone. You can put parental controls on a smartphone and code lock it so your child can't change parental settings. Some parents are too lazy.
@Ruby_Villain we ❤you❤
@@Ruby_VillainCool story, sis. Good luck finding a brick phone that actually works on 5G cell networks.
What's worse than a bad parent? The government being your parent for you.

Yeah, how dare they tell me my kids can't smoke and drink!
@JonO387 Totally different thing. And by the way, the restrictions on smoking and drinking for minors haven't worked out ever since they were created. Minors will always have a way of getting them if they want to. The best way to manage it to have a frank conversation with them, and maintain the government out of the way as much as it is convenient.
Parents aren’t parenting, they are buying them phones and iPads as babysitter. Now parents can blame it on the gov.
Yup! When I go out to restaurants, the parents are on their phones and the kids are on their phones. No one talks to each other.
@@whatchamacallit70 You see parents do it even with toddlers! It's crazy!
And watch their “parental rights” start to slip away.
To be fair though everyone needs to yo have 2 jobs just to eat how can anyone monitor children?
To be fair, kids have been getting their own netbooks and laptops from the school, for years now and they were required. We're talking starting with the 3rd and 4th graders all the way up through high school and it was before the smartphones were even out. There's NO text books and they HAVE to hand in all homework online! Honestly I have no idea what we've been paying teachers for over the last 15 years other than to be glorified babysitters.
No laws. More parenting.
🎯
Sounds like Ron wants to put parents in prison.
You're not wrong. However, parents usually have to work tirelessly just to make ends meet. So a 4 day workweek without reduction in wages is good idea.
@@josephkostinko739 When you are struggling, whether it’s problems at work, low self-esteem, conflicts in your relationships, etc., it feels much better to funnel your negative energy into blaming someone else than to confront your own role in your problems. A lot of people, like YOU join hate groups because it allows them to funnel the blame for all of their problems into another group of people while being supported by a group of people who share their beliefs and make them feel like they belong.
Yes sir. I agree one hundred percent.
I’ve seen parents rush into stores to buy very young kids the latest iPhone. 😮 Be a parent and say no!
You say no to your children because what I do with mine is none of your business.
My 3 boys (they are now in their 30's) had cell phones for safety.
@@AngelaShawWestoven Welp, found the crappy Mom.
@@debdeb62065 Ok, well when your kids were younger phones didn't have what they have now. Smart phones came out in 2008.
@@AngelaShawWestovenlady, no one cares about YOUR KIDS. Since you seem not to care about them yourself , we will do you the extra favor of not caring about them either. So at this point , we are talking to parents who do want to make a positive difference.
Not you though. Your kids are a lost cause with a mother like you.
I remember the days when a key tenet of conservatism was "Keep government out of our private lives". My, how things have changed.
yep...people today expect the government to solve all their problems!
That's libertarianism
Social media needs to be banned for minors. It is literally destroying their brains. It's not a parental rights issue. Parents cannot buy their children cigarettes.
Call me crazy, but don't the parents control the phones and computers?????
That would require parents to take responsibility for their children and do some actual parenting.
Apparently, it's now the job of the State. The GOP has officially moved away from libertarianism.
Parents aren't brave enough to say no. Parents constantly say I try, I tell them it's to much etc.. WTF my question has always been WHy do you want to be friends with your kids. I'm raising 4 boys alone 6,10,11,14. They're dad died 3 years ago and I know many nights end with 1-to 3 mad at me. I don't care about that. Also my friends and their friends respect that when they are over phones stay on table. It's a scary world and for now this is how I do it
Parents are working longer hours and multiple jobs just to make ends meet. They have long relied on digital media to “babysit” to keep kids distracted so they can work or even get some rest between jobs.
Not when the kids are at school. Kids bring old phones for the kids who's parents prevent them from having a phone so they can text and take videos while teachers are trying to teach.
Parents addicted to social media have nothing to say if their kids are addicted… Double standards much?
Adults can also drink and smoke, should kids be allowed? Double standard much? Your argument is retarded.
. “Awe hell, some fruitloop said I can’t tell my kids not to do something that I’ve done. I can’t try to save my kids from dangerous situations cuz I’ve been in them before myself.
I’ll just let’em learn the hard way like I had to. wth. 🤷
Do you people ever think about the things you say? I’ll be a proud hypocrite every single time if I can stop my innocent impressionable young children from making life altering mistakes.
Do as I say not as I do. Parents need to set boundaries. It is not like a kid can buy their own cellphone
@@prissylovejoy702 Kids learn by example. They pick up their parents’ traits. How can parents teach them how not to get addicted when what they see every day is parents failing to beat it? Who can teach them how not to get addicted? By saying, “Don’t do it cause I said so”? That’s also a crazy harsh standard to put on anyone. Especially kids. In essence, parents are saying, “I expect you to be better than me, but don’t look at me to be your example or teach you how. You have to just do it and obey my words on your own strength because I’m your parent and I said so.” Parents, whether they like it or not, accept it or not, or even realize it or not are their children’s most powerful examples on how to navigate life. After all… “Actions speak louder than words”.
@@camillecali2 Teaching boundaries is wonderful, but “Do as I say and not as I do” is giving up on something important in your own life in front of someone who looks up to you, but expecting that someone who is decades younger than you to do better at it than you can. It’s a very sad thing to say. In your life… wouldn’t you have preferred a parent say to you… “Let’s both do this together”?
Then same party that complains about the schools interfering with the parents and their kids, are now involved in your kids internet activities.
Yup. This isn’t parental control. This is GOVERNMENTAL control. And the people of Florida never had a say in it.
@charlesferrer9814... Well at least it's only 1 law.
In California there are Fridays where we finish the work day and find out (often months later -- why would the media report what is in the best interest of citizens 🤨) that "while we were sleeping" those in Sacramento passed a slew of laws in which we had absolutely no say-so.
Hopefully Florida will not go that way...
STOP BUYING YOUR KIDS PHONES.....
ADD PARENTAL CONTROLS!
Buy your kids a dumb phone. My carrier still sells thirteen of them.
That's too simple
Plus it involves Common Sence
I agree with the ban. Those devils should also have the adult entertainment industry banned too.
You really can't keep them away from it when all their friends at school have social media and smartphones.
Phones began when children weren’t safe in their own yards, or going to the park.
We did when we were kids.
So parents gave their kids phones.
Not,saying it’s right, but this is what has happened imo.
Time to be parents...time to grow up people.
No No and No again. This is a parental oversight issue. Lazy parenting is not an excuse for this law. Ban the parents from spending 20 hours a day on their own phone and maybe kids will get better parents. I am not for that either but the point is "I cannot stop them" is NOT an excuse. My parents didn't say "I cannot stop them from running out into the road". They stopped me and guess what? I didn't get run over by a car. Imagine that. These are the same parents that cry about the mental health issues the children have from being on social media but do nothing to keep them off and safe.
Most TOS we never read includes age restrictions
Yes because parents are doing such a great job of keeping kids off internet and social media 🙄
Until elevated to sainthood DeSantis is not qualified to judge what children should or should not do.
Why should anyone under 14 be on these platforms?
why cant lawmakers understand this
Government overstepping its bounds
I had a family visit me for a week. My internet went out for a few days and the kids were delightful, interacted, played games, went outside. When the internet was restored, they went back to being zombies. All 3 kids had their own phones.
Can we ban immature adults too? 😅 They're worse than minors on the internet in my opinion.
How will this be enforced?
When you sign up to a social media account you have to provide identification or the social media company can not allow people to sign up in Florida how do you think a tiktok band's going to work 😂😂😂
Knowing moRon DeFascist he'll form a Goon Squad that will break into people's homes and do periodic checks.
@@user-by1iw1ne8v WHat's a TikTok Band?
@@user-by1iw1ne8v you mean it's how neither of them is going to work because these aren't actual solutions to real problems, it's all pandering to people who are incapable of critical thinking.
In theory, you can't use a social media app without signing in first. Kids won't be allowed to have accounts. And the state government is going to hold the big tech companies who run these apps accountable for banning underage accounts in Florida. I guess???
For a party that always yelling big government overreach they sure are allowing government overreach when they want it
A government telling a parent to take responsibility is hardly imposing.
@lDanangandChi-town... Government overreach is a lot different than government takeover.
Sad that you are so comfortable with what is norm for your party.
People supporting social media companies that obviously prey on minors are proof of just how social media destroys brains.
This belongs with the parents. Not the government. What happened to ‘freedom@ Florida ?!
I want my kid to drive a car and be able to buy alcohol at age 12. What happened to freedom in Florida?
That's just stupid. All social media has a minimum of 18 to sign on. Parents need to be held responsible for their own children.
@devnull1013... Real freedom.cones with responsibility. "Freedom loving" without that?
It's just people doing whatever they like (without consideration for anyone but themselves).
All these "critics" of Florida while (for a lot of you) your children are as enslaved to the internet as most others. 😄😄😄
Yes. There might have been a better way but IF YOU can get most parents to genuinely PARENT their children, GO AT IT!!
At least Florida is trying to come up with a solution. 🤨
No, social media needs to be banned for minors. It is literally destroying their brains. It's not a parental rights issue. Parents cannot buy their children cigarettes.
Not all parents are responsible.

In a non descriptive story in print.... I would've wagered my last dollar it was Biden uttering those words
"Kids used to play outside." TELL CPS TO STOP INVESTIGATING PARENTS FOR LETTING THEIR KIDS PLAY OUTSIDE!
Your kid plays outside, leaves the bike in the front yard, the HOA sees it and goes ballistic! 🤣👍
What?
Who the hell call CPS for kids playing outside? I keep seeing people say this and I've never heard of this. CPS is not going to come and check you out because your kids play outside.
Now they will come check you out if your kids are playing outside and doing crime or damaging people's property.
IN USA IS ilegal to play outside!
My kiddos are always outside collecting twigs, rocks and love going on bug adventures, under my supervision ❤
I mean, don't most platforms already have a policy that states they need to be 12-13 to use online seevices with parents permission? If you think you're going to enforce it like porn sites that ask you to click yes or no regarding being 18 or older, I've got news for you.
Control education, libraries, colleges, and media.
Give kids ipads, in school, homework, then take them away. Parents next, no electronics. State mandated how to spend afternoon?
Overload systems between 3-4pm?
Talk about expensive surveillance! Punishment by state militias? Police or sherrifs or national guard.
I don’t understand. Why can’t parents control their kids? How about temporary use of phones or no phones?
There are bad parents
A lot of it has to do with many parents having to work 2 jobs in order to support their families. Who is going to enforce this rule if the parents are never there?
@@SteefPip kids are also bringing in old phones for kids who's parents don't want them to have phones. And at the schools they have computers for the kids that don't block social media sites. A lot of people think it's abusive to not let your kids have phones. Also holy crap yes I know the struggle of both parties needing two jobs with a family to make ends meet.
or dumb phones. Verizon sells thirteen.
Kids will sign up using friends’ phones, chromebooks, old iPods, you name it. As a middle school teacher, I came across many students with multiple accounts. For the most part, the issue wasn’t whether or not the kid had an account in the first place, it was about whether or not that kid had learned healthy habits.
Dont be fooled...AGAIN. It starts with childrens safety and then its a ban on us for our safety. wake uppppppppp
Most of today's kids will have to be Teck savvy. They will live long and have access to amazing technology. Don't hobble them.
still should get out now and again i miss going out to do things we had a go kart track in a bowling alley that we went to alot. i played outside and biked alot as a kid...
This is horrible … the moment the government enters the home it becomes a mess
So let me get this straight: 14 and under can’t be on social media because of the harm to them, but yet it’s ok for them to be raped and forced to carry a child their body isn’t physically ready let alone mentally for??? Please make this make sense???
it makes perfect sense
Wow, Florida legalized rape? That's crazy.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
reminder that the Pedos are in charge of the federal government.
You are totally right! These people making these laws are morons!
Who ever said parenting was easy? Step up and be a parent. Don't let social media be your babysitter. When I was a kid we went camping, swimming, fishing, boating, in the winter we went sleding, ice skating, snowball fights etc. There was no social media and we had lots of fun as a family.
Is Government taking away parental rights? Who's your daddy? How is this Constitutional? If the parents didn't buy the device, they wouldn't have the acess.
Thats not true. Kids will still try and get on their friend's device, maybe libraries, anywhere. Ban it.
Big government republicans. Now they want to be parents
People supporting social media companies that obviously prey on minors are proof of just how social media destroys brains.
This is more government Overreach
Amen
Just like not letting kids smoke. What a shame.
Which ones have addictive qualities?
Parents need to be parents.
All of them are extremely addictive. I've watched seemingly good kids scream over social media being taken from them. They cannot handle it. Most adults can't handle it.
How exactly do you enforce this?

These parents could buy their kids flip phones.
That's what we did. And it lives with me at night, or else she'll stay up all night texting. She gets to have it after school (homeschooling), and gives it back at bedtime. It's that or no phone. Period.
Parents are so worried about their children not being able to call them if there's an emergency. Why can't they just get them a cell phone that has no internet. Children don't need a smartphone.
Why do they feel that the government can govern people kids🤔 He’s more concerned about parenting parents children instead of signing bills about crime in Florida 🤦🏾♂️
What parenting?
The Biggest reason for crime is screwed up families...........
It's all for show, all he knows how to do is press culture war nonsense so that it seems like he's actually solving a problem. Maybe we should restructure our economic system in a way that makes it so people don't need to work two jobs to support their kids and are actually there to, you know, parent effectively.
Maybe because the internet is destroying their brain should have never been allowed in the first place the crap you find on there is gross, my friends 8 year old typed in playing with horses, guess what came up wtf is wrong with the lazy parents

I hope people understand that ANY law banning, regulating or prohibiting SoMe for kids = bye bye online anonymity and hello online ID on many, many sites. Eventually you need one for every site. How else would they know the user is a kid? Then it can also lead to regulating their gaming habits, etc. Just like in China. Do we want that???
Parents - do your f'ing job instead of expecting Big Daddy Government/Nanny State to do your job for you!
My daughter's also in technology bat this point I have no control over their kids. Are stupid and the first place. Rodney's kids are too young and the second place. If you want to be online and see the things you want to see, then you need to do keep your room clean. You need to get your clothes out of the wash machine. Put him in the dryer. You need to fold up your clothes. You need to take off the garbage. You need to do something besides sit in front of your technology. And if you're on the phone and your friend is right next to you. Why are you sitting there texting? Because most of these kids cannot carry on a conversation that makes any sense. I don't know how to talk. They do not know how to communicate. Or you have to use a phone and they're free in sitting right next to him. So if it's high passing a law, the parents need to be responsible for their children. And if your child's not responsible to use one of these phones it's taken away. They're too young. I'm on my way too young. And if they don't understand that then they should get a job by their own equipment.Get a part-time job and buy your own equipment.If you can't get a part of that by your own equipment then you're gonna listen to what i'm saying😊
Imagine being an irrelevant boomer that doesn't understand technology.
How would you even enforce this law? It's ridiculous. I grew up before social media & I spent my outside time biking, lighting fires, smoking cigarettes, throwing stuff off the freeway overpass, jumping off bridges into the river just bc your kids outside doesn't mean that its automatically better.

Don't get me wrong. I think social media is terrible and rarely use it, but this ain't the government's job to just outright ban it. Regulate it at the developer side. Put the responsibility on them. But the GQP hypocrisy is dripping with this one.

Save the children from social media
Growing up as a child and teenager in the 1980's... long before all of the social media, etc. of today got involved, we children of that time period simply were not allowed to "play inside of the house"...we were expected and sometimes forced to play outside. This was actually how true and genuine relationships and friendships were formed and bonded. Our video game systems back then were not a threat on various levels either like they are now.
@darrellsadler2848 I remember having conversations with strangers. Now, if you try to speak to anyone they look at you weird.
But now you can't let kids play outside. Even going to school is dangerous, taking them to movies is dangerous, parks are dangerous and hell just buying food is dangerous. So tell me where kids can play outside. It's not the same world we grew up in, it's not the world where my 4 boys grew up in. Also I'm 58 and still play video games.

If you ask me, children shouldn’t have access to devices that let them to you strangers all around the world.
This is the best thing that can happen. Theres ALOT of vile things on social media. Its also an addiction - far worse than heroin. Sad parents dont protect their kids ...
Yeah cuz we love the government telling us how to parent. Of course, AFTER they force people to have the baby.
There are about 10,000 deaths each year in the US due to heroin overdose. SMH
oh IS IT? CLown.
@@bemhibbits4157 There is no "forcing " going on. Liar!

@@debdeb62065 When you are struggling, whether it’s problems at work, low self-esteem, conflicts in your relationships, etc., it feels much better to funnel your negative energy into blaming someone else than to confront your own role in your problems. A lot of people, like YOU join hate groups because it allows them to funnel the blame for all of their problems into another group of people while being supported by a group of people who share their beliefs and make them feel like they belong.

When your child is writhing on the floor having a meltdown, restricted from social media parents can and should use “ it’s the law, I will go to jail “ .
If there was any doubt that Florida is where freedom goes to die, this should take that away. Let's see, what freedom will Governor DeSantis take away next.
Government helping. Seat belts to reduce costs from injuries. No media to reduce costs from mental illness.
@@Ivory0102that's right!
No one is taking anyone's freedom away! Kids shouldn't be allowed on the Internet period! It's dumbing them down! Plus parents need to start being parents and stop using RUclips, Facebook, Instagram, etc. To raise their kids!
@@angel-fz8qgum children should be allowed on the internet for educational purposes. Internet isn't the bad guy if used correctly.
Children watching an age appropriate video from youtube isn't the end of the world.
I'm in Florida you're going to go watch out for all the perverts that are walking around the parks looking at little kids cuz I know a lot of parents just dropped the kids off and walk away from them was that ever keeping an eye on them
Send the law to Alabamas Governor
Are they going to jail all the children that use social media without parental knowledge, what if parents give consent? Stupid law with no way to enforce. Way to waste taxpayer money for the party of small govt.🤬
Give the kid a flip phone. Problem solved. The parent that says "she knows" is too trusting.
I'm 24 and although I live in another city and work in construction, my Mom makes me send her my credit card statements because she doesn't want me to buy useless things and my Internet is monitored, I can't even have Netflix. I'm from a Korean family. She controls a lot of my life, unfortunately, and as the oldest I have to look after her. I have told her she's kind of interfering, but I agree that parents need to really talk to their adult and minor children about the dangers of the Internet, teens getting into their friends' cars as there can be distractions while driving, meeting people in person, leaving your drinks alone opening a window for someone to spike them, not honking your car horn, saying thank you when someone hodor for you, etc. Yes, there have been lives taken because the suspects didn't receive a thank you!
I have a niece and I couldn't believe I acted like my Mom when I found out she had a lot of social media accounts and 'friends.' No 13 year old has 1200+ followers on Instagram and Facebook.
You are 24 years old. You are an adult. Your mother has zero right to monitor your credit card statement or Internet use. You might need to step back from her and put boundaries in place. I understand that she is concerned about you but that's overstepping.
DeSantis you keep banding things away from kids you going to start telling what kind of color of underwear they're supposed to wear to I really wonder if you know what your job is boy

Governor DeSantis Takes Additional Steps to Drive Illegal Immigration Out of the Sunshine State
FAIR Take | March 2024
Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed three bills aimed at addressing illegal immigration in Florida. House Bills (HB) 1589 and 1451, along with Senate Bill (SB) 1036, introduce stricter penalties for illegal immigrants convicted of driving without a license and engaging in criminal activities.
HB 1589 expands on a 2023 law, SB 1718, which prohibits illegal aliens from obtaining driver’s licenses in Florida as well as invalidates driver’s licenses from states that provide them to illegal aliens.
HB 1589 increases penalties for all individuals driving without a license, regardless of their immigration status. Repeat offenses now carry a maximum jail sentence of one year, up from 60 days, while three or more violations mandate a minimum of ten days in jail. While not explicitly targeting illegal immigrants, HB 1589 is crafted with them in mind.
Nikki Jones, a Florida resident whose husband was killed by an illegal alien driving under the influence, strongly supports these bills. “The illegal alien who killed my husband had multiple high-risk traffic violations in between Hillsborough County and Polk County. I support these bills, because if they were in place and upheld prior to my husband being killed, and immigration law was followed through, I believe he would be alive today, and my children would still have their father,” she remarked.
HB 1451 targets I.D.s that make it easier for illegal aliens to live, work, and access benefits in the U.S. It prohibits counties and municipalities from accepting identification cards and documents that are issued to aliens “not lawfully present in the United States,” except for documents issued by the federal government. Governor DeSantis emphasized, “In Florida, we do not tolerate illegal immigration, let alone lawlessness committed by illegal aliens who shouldn’t be here in the first place.”
The reason DeSantis made it law, I'm sure, is because pushover parents don't have the backbone to stand up to demanding kids, or they want their kids to leave them alone so they let them have access to anything they want. If parents did what is truly best for kids, DeSantis would never have made it a law because there would be no need. See how that works, boy?
You people are something else. Acting as though there aren't many things that are illegal and banned in America.

Funny, being that social media is a haven for pedos, yet here you are supporting social media for minors.
Thats great, it shoukd be more on parents though.
Great place to START! But parents need to be in control of what even teenagers are doing!
Exactly
They're people, not property
Yeah but that is a parents responsibility not government
@@dusklunistheumbreonthey’re dependents, not independents, I think you meant to say. Imagine conflating letting parents decide if their kids can use FB, with being a slave. I’ve never been a slave, myself, but I’m told it’s a little worse than “not getting to post on X or TikTok” 😂
it did not start with this autocratic move by the governor....he has taken away many parental rights in favor of government over control......you need to read up on how an autocracy government begins, "A well known autocracy is the leadership by Adolf Hitler in Germany from 1933-1945. Adolf took control of every decision made. The people had no choice but to follow orders".
maybe let parents decide if they want their kids watching corn on the internet, smoking or drinking or owning guns at 12 if you are against this law.
Exactly
Wait? It is ok for them to have these devices in school yet not for parents to control?
How are they going to enforce it?
The cell phones are provided by the parents so how does this work?
Will they eventually arrest parents for buying phones for their kids? This is fascist
What a joke. Shouldn't this be a parents decision to make?
@@karenlei8742 I am sorry I cannot agree. Governors cannot force parent our children. There will always be bad parenting no matter what.

Too many parents that don’t care. Why should social media be available for children if it’s bad for their health? Please explain to me why any child under 13 needs social media.
@@SoloMarcoPolo then don't let them have a cell phone and there are parental controls on pc's and phones.
Thats not a ban, thats regulation.
I don't like government being the nanny for our kids. Parents! Supervise your kids. Geez.
They would not have to nanny if parents did their job. Much like seatbelt laws, leaving itvup to parents does not work.
@@teresayeates3437 Keep licking that boot.
The parents that want minors to stop using social media are using social media almost twice as much as their children. So where is the real problem? The parents that don’t want their children to use social media should not be allowed to use it either. Your children are always watching. So start acting like adults.
Your absolutely right.!!
Why do their kid have a phone. My grand daughters are 8 & 6 they don’t have a damn phone.
"Parents who don't want their kids to drink alcohol should stop drinking alcohol." - literally you
Your logic is flawed. Parents often do things they do not allow their children to do until they are old enough to understand the risks. That doesn't mean the parents need to refrain as well. Should we stop having intimate relations? Should we stop driving cars?
It’s not about using it at all u dummy it’s about the age to use it
@@nothingtosee314 Yo momma, had a "intimate relation, with a monkey, and that is how YOU got so screwed up, Babyboy

What about big government telling us what to do?
How far does this go!
SMH!
I'm sorry should kids also have the freedom to participate in porn movies? I mean literally there's no difference between getting onto social media and providing content for predators and going to a studio to provide content for predators. Also look at the kids, they're absolutely bat-sht insane from all this social media brainwashing.
Exactly and for those who say things like the parents are on social media twice as much are forgetting that the parents are adults!
Little kids don’t have the capacity to make such a choice and parents fail to actually parent their kids

@@brattCatt_ and you are wrong! Nice try. Stick to the topic! No one is talking about porn! What’s next, kids can’t have sprinkles on ice cream? See my point! Let the parents decide! You have no idea how far this will go!
So, the government of Florida has decided that THEY would decide what social media platforms children will be allowed to access. I wonder how long it will be before Child Protection Services become mandated to remove children from homes that don't comply with the new social-media restriction laws? And will children be enticed to turn their parents in for not complying?
If you can't keep your daughter off Instagram, that's probably what should happen.
@@jamescarter8311 - Do you also advocate for firing squads for those that violate YOUR ideas of law and order, as well?

@@jadapinkett1656 ur woke soon u will be broke like bud light Disney LOL😀😀😀
Ban all social media for minors! Yes, parents need to help enforce this. It is destroying their brains and a lot of it is deliberate. We thought too much TV was bad growing up.
Parents have total control of their kid`s phones. They can monitor everything that goes on.
I agree they should ban all phones for children in schools. They are using to calaculate
Good things can come from phones, like recording incidents
They have to use their brain to calculate .
But what if there's an emergency? Wouldn't you want your kid to have a phone to contact you? I'm all for regulating kids when it comes to social media but the world is too crazy for them not to have access to a phone!
@m.woodsrobinson9244 good point about contact, but I don't agree with government saying kids can't use social media. It's for the parents to raise their kids
@@dannythunder3180 I actually agree. I should have made that more clear in my post. I don't believe it's the government's job, either. Sadly, too many parents don't want to use the time or the inclination to do it themselves. I think it's a slippery slope. The government is intrusive enough.
Parents can block all IP's through their router and build a whitelist of authorized IP's. They can also limit total time per day as well as hours of the day they can be on the device. These issues are 100% the fault of parents wanting to pass the buck on to the government. No bill is needed just parentes need to step up and take responability. But I do applaude the governor for trying.
They got this habit from parents
