Laws can't and shouldn't substitute good parenting.
Laws of this kind only make it worse for everyone and teen who knows a bit will find ways to bypass them.
It's a bad slippery slope to even more government overreach in what was once, an avenue for democratisation of the conversation and freedom: the internet.
YouTube has content filtering for kids which parents could never mimic. App level moderation just cannot be achieved by a parent.
These social media companies have a direct relationship with their users, many of which are kids. They need to serve their child users appropriate content, and in an appropriate manner.
Furthermore, there is nothing in this bill that stops parents from parenting.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. The only way to stop a bad 6-year-old with a gun is to have another good 6-year-old with a gun. ALL NONSENSE!
