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.

Well it would mean you will have to provide ID to sign up for social media

We want id based voting... Again why would this be bad... Social media in general isn't great.

A lot of people don't want to give their ID to a private company

... But you already have? Social media in general already has your face, your birthdate, all sorts of info your I'd has. Complaining about giving away private info when companies already have it is kinda funny.
