Florida House passes bill banning children under 16 from social media: 'Kids can't stay off the platforms'

It’s about time!

One can't stop "progress" of course, and there are many valuable aspects of social media sites such as this one, and so many many others. But, IMHO, our entire culture has also suffered many negatives since the development of such sights. Everything has a price, and even we, adults in general, also pay a high price for all the joys social media sites can bring us. I personally welcome any attempt to at least slow down the dark crimes perpetrated on our children and teens, but I also think "the horse is out of the barn" and going to be VERY hard to capture and corral again !
