I refer to this type of gov’t behavior as the traffic-light-syndrome. A crosswalk is painted n a busy boulevard where children cross to get to and from school. Parents petition for a traffic light but it isnt until someone is killed that the “project” is approved and the light installed. By allowing new technologies fast track status if any regulatory speed control at all, govts all too often fail to protect the people.
A growing number of U.S. policymakers and federal officials are angling to keep children and young teenagers off social media entirely, citing mounting concerns that the platforms may harm their well-being and mental health. It’s a notable escalation in the rhetoric around keeping kids safe online, which has largely focused on setting new digital protections.
A new bill would ban anyone under 16 from using social media
