without parental consent. Both were struck down on First Amendment grounds.
“We have new facts about the internet and about social media platforms that were not available when those cases were decided. The internet is a very different thing. Social media didn’t even exist when most of those cases were decided,” Cox said. The attorney says his group has no plans to file suit once Cox signs the bills into law, but he anticipates several other lawsuits to materialize in short order.
And earlier this year, Cox, along with Attorney General Sean Reyes, announced that sometime in the future t
“One of my favorite things to do…” what a weird favorite thing to do?
One of your favorite things to do? Um... sir, what's wrong with you?
Or the government banning individual rights and inflicting oppression
Wouldn't it be easy if it was 'social media'. What an easy scapegoat. The problem(s) is much deeper and more complicated and lawmakers don't want those kinds of answers.
Governor Cox stating the obvious
Yeah buddy, that's what we call 'anecdotal.' my guess is he'll next use the byu polling group that found byu to be politically centrist for his data
That is one issue for sure but mental illness is not so cut and dried. How about kids having to wonder every day if today is the day an active shooter enters their school? What about the toxic political climate that infects every aspect of society? What about enduring a pandemic?
Anyone disputing this lacks the critical thinking necessary to gain the proper insight. Social-media is a benefit to society, as well as a detriment.
I’ll take things that have never happened for 500!
Social media
For the safety of our kids
Doubt governor but staff post & respond. Did Cox then help the those ‘depressed kids’? Even know who they are? Exactly why? Maybe now they have a name for their feelings. Cox have a bill for added counseling, healthcare,…for any who need it?
I think it's the FCC brainwashing us through all our broadcasting. Giving the world my creativity as antipsychotics for the masses creating a spiritual hole in this country. The FCC is FUCKED
So instead of allowing parents to teach their kids their values Utah gop, smaller govt party, is trying to put the onus on big tech to set limits the parents should be setting. Got it. utahvalues theutahway
and what they READ EVERY DAY on social media are all the draconian and fascist laws you guys are passing to make their lives miserable!!
Social media will ultimately be the end of civilization as we know it. It is making everyone an evil hateful person.
I'm sure they are much more stressed out about social media over mass shootings in schools. Guns are also killing our students yet you turn a blind eye GovCox . How do you think teen girls feel about having to carry their rapist child or the victim can go to jail
If anyone needs to have 3rd party approval for social media it’s Boomers who should have to get approval from Millennials.
Now that is some serious research. We should base all new laws on such objective polling and research.
It is not the platform of social media, it is the issues that social media highlights, that's the problem. Stop trying to restrict their access to the world and instead concentrate on fixing the societal issues that worry them.
I have teenagers. One has been through lockdowns in her Utah school year already. Neither they nor their friends blame social media. In fact it's a lifeline for them to share with each other. SpencerJCox GovCox is a liar. Pic of person with hands up at school Thu. utpol
Also the lack of promoting outside of Utah educational opportunities to underprivilaged students instead of exploiting them for LDS missionary work or treating them as loss causes? How many turn to suicide because they feel like they can't escape this fucking state.
Now let's talk about LDS Seminary idealogy and favoritism in Utah schools, which also enforces and influences classism, bullying, and superiority complexes within our high schools.
How about we fix what they're seeing on SM? Climate change. Social injustice. Racism. I could go on...
Because Utahs laws protecting predators and patriarchal abusive child custody rights is not a factor right? Every kid I talk to that has dealt with that stuff, has blamed our crappy laws and court system.. not social media.
Or maybe it's the things they see on social media? Like news that the tenuous future they are being raised to reach for continues to look more and more bleak.
Duh
I can just imagine when introducing himself at social gatherings, the governor says: 'Hello, my name is Spencer, and one of my favorite things to do is to ask random teens if their friends are depressed!'
The crushing trauma and anxiety of people loosing rights, rise of fascism, loss of religious liberty, climate change and a bleak future makes kids depressed. Adults are depressed too. They reflect their parents
“One of my favorite things to do is ask teens…” A bit old to go around asking teens questions, isn’t he?
This is the 'data' that he claims to have 🤦
Could it have something to do with the lack of breathable air? Anyone?
SpencerJCox claims socialmedia is the enemy, but Instagram isn’t the one raping Utah kids: 1 in 5 Utah kids are sexually molested, and GovCox and JStuartAdams refuse to require mandatory reporting of their church. hypocrisy shame utpol utleg lds
GunControlNow
'My favorite things to do...' 😳
Wonder why utleg didn't want to commission a 'study' on effects of cultural factors, social media, and other Utah issues that keep us near the top for suicides in the U.S. I'm sure there is more to this than just social media being the current scapegoat.
Maybe it’s up to us to create a stronger society rather than run and hide from our issues
Not sure they like active shooter drills much either.
I think you'd be surprised how many would say the Mormon church is a big reason.
