EFF: Stop the Protecting Kids on Social Media Act
(act.eff.org)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
To clarify, I 100% think this bill is bad for adults, privacy, and the internet.
However...
Social Media has a documented, well-studied, negative effect on young people's mental health. We really could and should be doing more as a society to prevent young people from using it / pressuring social media platforms to fix the inherently negative issues with social media. This bill isn't the answer, but acting like kids and teens should have free reign of web apps that are known to be bad for them isn't the answer either.
Their parents should fucking parent them then. If my parents didn't want me exposed to something they didn't let me have it. Stop giving your kids mobile devices and letting them loose on the internet and maybe they won't turn out so fucked up.
