That, at least, is the vision emerging from a growing number of states introducing — and in some cases passing — legislation intended to protect kids online. For years, US lawmakers have called for new safeguards to address concerns about social platforms leading younger users down harmful rabbit holes, enabling new forms of bullying and harassment and adding to what’s been described as a teen mental health crisis.
“With a new law like this, they may now be intimidated and discouraged by the legal hoops required to use social media out of fear of authority or their parents, or fear of losing their privacy at a time when teens are figuring out who they are,” Ivey told CNN when the Utah law passed.
Absolutely! It is the duty of a parent to bring up their children to respect others, educate them, & to be non-violent. Unfortunately others believe its the Government's responsibility feed them, educate them, let them be strong like the Hitlerjugend & Bund Deutscher Mädel
Seems like a no brainer. The fact that this is even debatable shows how far we’ve fallen.
Strange question. Who would be on the No side?
Hell yes.
Minors should be restricted
You can wait on that not going to happen
Wow, I cannot believe some of these comments… who TF else is going to decide what our kids do online? Parents need to parent, not be friends! My boys and I are super close, but they know their boundaries & not to push it. FFS, ur right to privacy begins when you’re grown
Is this a serious question?
Obviously yes and it isn't debatable just because you hired crazy people to write your stories.
PARENTS and God should decide everything their kids do, both on and offline. The PARENTS and God are the SOLE creaters of our children. Nobody outside the 2 shall we hear.
They can't because many kids to even listen to their parents .
Considering these old creeps out there , yes.
Definitely, there are a lot of leftist groomers online
If parents are paying the phone bill, it belongs to the parent. Good parents protect their kids from online garbage.
Families should certainly have conversations. Sometimes kids have things to teach parents. All should get media/information literacy training. Know how media/information is made helps a lot. Communities should talk about standards as many do already.
Lets see. If they are paying for the phone, yup.
Parents should decide everything their children do, it's their job.
States? All rational people Think so.
Yes. Especially while at school. 100% yes.
Yes. Be a parent
Under 8, under my roof.... you bet. Its the parents call or move your azz out
Yes. Parents are responsible for raising their children to 18 years old.
Kids will find a way no matter what the parents do. Have you all forgotten your childhood?
I thought they were for a limited government. Can't they raise their own kids?
Of course they should! It's called PARENTING! Leftists ate ridiculous!
Yes, how is this an issue
Yes. 1000% yes. Why would they not decide?
If you want to be a good parent.
I’m sorry …..what Of course parents should have the first last and only say for what their kids do.
Absolutely. It’s their responsibility. Not just a right
Not to say like I'm an old fart, but YES Parents should be able to control what social platforms their kids sign on to and can't. When you hit 18, you can do what you please, but if you are under 18, the folks have veto power.
Parents get to decide EVERYTHING for their kids. Why do you think they shouldn't?
Well seeing as parents guide children to become the next generation of adults, yea id say it's kind of important that you make sure your child isn't in some sort of extremist form online or similar echo chamber.
Of course. How is that even a question.
Right or wrong, parents get to decide how to bring up their kids.
Should activist media and academic brainwashers decide what kids should be solely taught?
Well duh
Yes… is this a real question?
Stupid question. Parents need to parent. It’s NOT the government’s business.
When I was a kid my parents limited my time online and I am so grateful. We are absolutely doing the same for our children, especially with so many malicious actors in the TQA+ community grooming children.
Utah and Arkansas, two strongholds of small government Republicans asking private companies to monitor kids activities.. sounds absolutely reasonable..
Parents should have the right to know, which can guide their children correctly, but please also give them some personal space and decision-making power.
Yes
Who else should decide? Big Brother? You?
Finally, an article for parents who drive through Zion National Park without having to physically change their kids’ Disney movie because their minivan has wifi.
Yes. Absolutely. Only groomers think otherwise.
How about not giving 9 and 10 year olds their own cell phones. Let’s start there
Yes they should, it’s the parents that need to control what they are doing. It’s called PARENTING!!
I don’t understand why this is even an issue. Most phones, home Wi-Fi, and apps have a way for parents to already do this. I can literally turn my kids devices off the internet from my phone. Most apps he downloads ask for my permission. They are once again wasting our time.
Disinformation, of course parents should decide. But these laws are no different than those for buying liquor or cigarettes or marijuana. They are a help not a hindrance. My opinion
Isn't the default setting for parents being responsible for the kids? When did this become an option?
Duh. Surely not the school
You should know what your kids are doing online. Otherwise, they will end up with pedophiles like Biden.
Problem though. Parents don't.
Parents yes, government, no. Make Republicans the party opposing government overreach again.
Yes, good parenting would allow conversation about on-line and artificial intelligence/ internet. We are human beings who need guidance and understanding about ourselves and the world. Our children need the same, when they become active adults then they can make those decisions.
Suddenly apparently... it is not safe to be a parent these days.
Yep, why not?
No, of course not, let them see whatever…. CNN is so done
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
It is not a good thing to allow underage children to surf the Internet.
Yes lol what kind of stupid question is that?
You cannot Protect what you cannot (or, will not) Control.
What kindve question is this
Parents need to start being parents and not use the internet as a babysitter
Yes. The Republican run states are the NANNY STATE. They want to push their rules on all parents.
آموزش صحیح،فرزندان توسط والدین ، وقت گذاشتن، برای فرزندان، میتواند بهترین راهکار باشد. دوستی با فرزندان.
This headline and ones like it is propaganda for a failed state
Not gonna happen, kids can make decisions for themselves
I agree with this with one proviso. Children get to see, if they so desire what their parents are looking at on Social Media, in return.
Monitoring is required before minors
Yes
Hi every bunnies 🐰
Oh, it''s totally achievable. LOL Arkansas. They are going to make states into the town in 'Footloose'. Good Luck with that.
Children can't be monitored 247 but there is a need to guide their doings by letting them understand the teachings and the beauty of the religion
Children cannot choose their parents. Amen
