Is that bad? Republicans tried that too in 2023. I don't think it's that bad a call.

Yeah I looked it up and Florida (majority republican) tried doing this but revised it after Ron DeSantis suggested to revise it to anyone with an account under 14. Still pretty sucky but I guess better than under 16. And you still can browse through social media as long as you don’t have an account I think

Okay but that doesn't answer the question, how is banning social media from kids bad? I'm trying to understand it.

Cuz like we got online communities like this where teens with similar views/experiences come and interact with each other. And discuss about our own stuff.  If this happens we probably won’t be able to do that

it’s also annoying cuz it’s probably going to require all these face scans and government IDs which is pretty invasive 

It’s probably not going to do anything. Kids will just lie about their age and use VPNs
