If you are having trouble with a child-proof cap, just find a kid and ask ’em to open it for you.
And if the government attempts to impose limits, a very similar thing will happen. Parents really need to step up on this… and yes, any restrictions should be observed by the whole fam damly.
Once again the government is years late to the party. For kids not harmed by social media you know there good parents raising them. It was not the government.
And like all child-proof caps, the kids will have it off in a moment while the adults will have to use a chain saw and two hand grenades to get it cracked.
This is a waste of time. The GOP wants MAGA folks to max out on “Social Media”. Helps Trump if his “people” are "OD"ed on this “drug”. It’s like Crack Cocaine for them.
They said the internet was harming our kids. They told us of all the dangers of TV for kids back in the 1950s. They warned about the harm radio programs would do. They said cars, especially the back seat, would bring our youth to ruin. Some Humans have a tendency to overact to anything new, while most humans prove through the ages that we adopt the progress and learn to adapt that progress to our needs.
The Internet is the most robust source of information in the history of humankind. Any teacher who can’t figure out a way to use it constructively, to engage students at every level in media literacy, should perhaps consider another profession. An enlightened administration would recognize this and engage faculty and parents accordingly.
Social media discussion frequently devolves to “You’re a poo-poo head.” “No, you’re the poo-poo head.” followed by, “You eat poo-poo!” “No! You eat poo-poo with snot on it!”

You just guaranteed a kid can get at it. So many child-proof caps can only be opened by kids.

Like warnings on rock albums in the eighties, it will just make them more popular.

Sorry, kids are just as mean and cruel as they ever were. Social media is just the bathroom wall of the 21st century.

WHY can’t PARENTS just NOT GIVE THEIR KIDS DEVICES?No law is going to do anything about stupid parents.

It will not be a law, but social media groups should be required to do advertising to expose the dark sides of social media.
