The social media is turning the kids into leftists. Can't have that.
I dont want the government to ban things, but parents should not be giving their kids social media and smart phones at such young ages. Its overwhelmingly common, but a really bad idea.
Can't believe I'm gonna say this but...good job Florida?
Yeah, I'm not used to this emotion either.
Florida or not, it's a good idea. You can't stop the internet and you can't ask international websites to do this (how would you stop federated websites doing this anyway that are in other countries? You can't)
Put it on the parents, teach your kids, monitor what they are doing, show some responsibility. Actually, don't give kids a phone at all until they're at least 14 or so
I see a chance of Lemmy and mastodon becoming a lot more popular. Plus a spike in vpn useage. All they're doing is encouraging people to get clever and circumvent those rules. Fuck Florida
They just don't want teens communicating so they don't tell their friends when they get SAed
Wtf? What kind of conclusionsis that?
Same as the ones who said once abortions are illegal, rape would go away like COVID
Supporters point to rising suicide rates among children, cyberbullying and predators using social media to prey on kids.
That isn't the reason for this.
Yeah if they actually cared about that they wouldn't be demanding lgbtq people and helping make their suicide rates higher.
Get off my Facebook lawn kids reeeee
Exceedingly rare Florida W
They've gone so far to the right that they accidentally did a leftism.
300% right makes a left, or some such math
As backwards as Florida is on most issues, this is actually just common sense at this point. We have the data that shows that exposure to social media, in all its "look at how awesome my life is!" shittiness, is detrimental to a child's social and psychological development. There's almost an entire generation of kids that have zero attention span, porn addictions, and depression from engaging in a completely untested and cutting edge form of communication that is way too open to bad actors and predators to exploit.
edit: I'm not making any comments about Florida's desire to control the flow of information, because at this point it's just conjecture.
That's more the internet in general. Us millennials were also pretty fucked up by internet porn and the availability of short form media.
I remember my parents talking about how we have no attention span because of things like YouTube and our cartoons. Same shit different generation.
Also just like we did they'll find a way to use it anyway.
