I have not a parent, I meet thousands, who feels their kids are safe online. Yes social media is overall bad for at least kids. It’s a toxic product, time to control access.

Social media harms kids because issues like bullying, alcohol, and drug abuse are already prevalent in our society. It is not social media that causes these issues, but rather it strengthens them.

where are the parents

Not all, but certain parents should start considering raising their own children rather than expecting others and the government doing it for them. I say this because this law right here if it were to pass would not only be for the children but for the adults as well, but see, they don’t tell you that, and she was “very vague in what or which sites”. No, because all your hearing is, it’s about the children, yes, of course just the children 🙄, I mean who doesn’t want to protect the children since the parents aren’t doing it, it’s not just about the children here. If you think so, explain then, if the children are going to be restricted or have certain restrictions in place for children, well that means “everyone” will have to show “proof” of information that their not a child. That means the authorities will know it’s YOU, where you go online, what you look at, how often YOU are doing all of this, and yes even more because you have just FREELY given the government access into your personal space and life, FREELY. Oh, but let’s just keep in mind, it’s just for the children, and mysteriously somehow the authorities will automatically know if it’s a child at the computer or device keyboard 🙄 They are using the children to get access, yes not only to restrict them, sure, but its mainly for the adults. I mean who doesn’t want to raise everyone’s children if parents aren’t wanting to raise them, why of course it’s your responsibility and the governments to raise them instead. The more access you freely give, the more they will track you everywhere, besides who reads all that tiny small very fine print anyways, the majority of people don’t. It’s more than you realize, they’re just using the children to gain access to YOU, the adults.

it's not just the interaction with other people that's negatively impacting mental health but the TARGETED MARKETING which utilizes known psychological manipulation
