I agree with this.

      Ill ask it in a much clearer way.

      Republicans scream and shout about “Democrats telling parents how to raise their kids.”

      Republicans are now banning kids from social media. Sure, thats a good step.

      But how do you respond to the hypocrisy of “republicans can tell parents how to raise your kids”?

      Isn’t the republican view “its up to the parents how they raise their kids”, so why are republicans now celebrating telling parents they aren’t allowed to let their children on social media?

      Edit - downvoted and no response. Typical, when asking about republican hypocrisy

        If you look at the law closely it restricts children under 14 from creating an account. Parents can create an account and give their children access. Children under 14 can’t consent to terms and shouldn’t be permitted to create accounts.

        There is no government getting in between parents and kids, this law just requires a legal guardian to provide consent to their children having accounts.

          I am not opposed to this at all. Social media is toxic to children and limiting their access is best.

          If parents can allow their children access, so be it.

          I didn’t allow my kid to access social media until she was 16 and even then, we had to have her PW to check on her account.

        I refuted your word salad. That wasn’t hard to do.

        Maybe instead of calling people dishonest, you should look to your own behavior.

        You can’t even point out Anything specific you dislike. I actually cited a study showing why this is a good idea.
