Reply to comment by ChokaTot in Texas bill would ban social media for children under 18 by ANNIHILATOR284

There have been quite a few studies that have shown negative mental health effects of social media on kids. I’m not saying this is right, there actually are very good reasons for it.

Social Media for children isn't great, I believe those studies are accurate. My SO and I don't have our child on any social media aside from letting her look at pictures/videos along with us. I think social media is a major contributor to the huge upsurge in mental health problems in young adults.

All that being said, I couldn't ever support forced identification to prove age. That would be like being forced to identify yourself for walking down a sidewalk.
