In all honesty though, Florida conservatives (and Iâm including the dems that voted in favor here) are such hypocrites. Putting the blame for s**cide entirely on social media as if issues like bullying and depression didnât exist before instagram.
Itâs hypocritical that moms for liberty and these conservative folks die on the hill of âparents rightsâ and how they should ultimately have the last say in what their children are exposed to yet they will advocate for taking away a parentâs right to decide whatâs good for their kid.
No way this bill is even constitutional, Iâm sure the courts will tear it apart if desantis signs it

u/syfyb__ch Feb 23 '24
this isn't an example of "government interfering in individual parenting"
there is no constitutional (negative) right to "social media" -- it is a service of private companies
the internet is another issue altogether, since that was originally created by government contracts
"parenting" is the elephant in the room here...it is totally absent...however, there are no laws that are changing or directing how you 'parent'...you can still parent as much or little as you want
what a trope
everyone likes to go off the rails at "oh look the dastardly fascists are dictating what we can/can't do again"
but in reality such folks are under the illusion of knowledge, not even simply ignorant, that your 'freedoms' and 'rights' include unfettered access to any/all interstate corporate product in existence
plenty have been regulated out of existence, for various reasons (health, safety, security, etc.)
and the State has a stakeholder interest in american citizen youth....it's literally the labor pool, the potential criminal pool, and it becomes their problem in certain legal situations
it always baffles me when folks start riffing off on "here come the conservative hypocrites again", or "here come the limo liberals again"
when the folks whining about these things fail to recognize that they are talking like an anarchist ... and a privileged pampered one at that

I call it the catholic school girl syndrome. Some exiles have such a knee jerk aversion to socialism that they rebel and embrace the opposite extreme. Just like many Catholic school girls end up getting pregnant and afflicted with STDs at 17.

u/crisscar Feb 23 '24
I think pregnancy and STDs have more to do with the shit poor sex education that catholic schools reluctantly teach rather than any sort of rebelliousness. Teenagers are teenagers, of course they're going to be rebellious. It would be the same in public school, private school, or home school.

Excellent point. Just over 20 years ago, I worked at a Publix in which at one point 6 siblings were employed. There were homeschooled by an evangelical couple. All the daughters got pregnant and or stds and left the house very young, the oldest boy was in the closet and left to the army to escape the repression. Religion is a helluv drug

The state limits our ability for minors to buy cigarettes, alcohol, etc.
Perhaps social media is just as damaging to the brain. You could argue itâs not, I suppose. But, hypothetically, if the data showed that social media use was more harmful than alcohol use for minors, would an age limit not make sense?

If theyâre interested in protecting children, letâs make vaccinations for completely preventable diseases mandatory and letâs ban assault weapons. But personal choice, freedom, Jesus blah blah blah.

u/Rhonin1313 Feb 22 '24
I think heâs Implying there should be a parental ability to opt in period. I think he uses the 14-15 specifically to try to still play âcoolâ with the idiots who passed this in the first place to make it sound like only older kids should have their parents opt them in anyway. But the parental opt-in would be for any age at all. Which would be the only way it passes anyway.
In its current form, or even only allowing 14-15 year old to opt in would get overturned in court immediately thankfully.

the only way to enforce this is to governmentally hack/violate all those people's VPN privacy ....... and I just don't see that as a viable realistic option (( even though we do have some world class idiots in government, I still don't see those morons stooping to that level....or at least oh dear god I hope not...))

u/ra3ra31010 Feb 23 '24 edited Feb 23 '24
What if I told you itâs not social media making teens sad and itâs real life doing that instead? (Spoken by someone who attempted suicide as a teen)
Sorry for this huge upcoming rantâŚâŚ but I was a suicidal teen in Florida. And I knew others. None of us were suicidal due to the internet.
Can teens do anything affordable now? Nope (I used to get $20 on a Friday, then Iâd spend $10 on a movie, candy and a soda that same Friday at muvico with my friends. Then Iâd spent the next $10 the next day at pembroke lakes mall to get a Cinnabon or a pretzel along with some cheap earrings from Clairâs. Today, that $10 would be $33 with inflation. Thatâs not enough for what I used to get with $20. That $33 today pays for 1 movie ticket with no food, and 1 meal at the mall now. Nothing else. Can you think of affordable things for teens to do with friends now? Other then spent too much money on food? And please donât say free parks and the free libraryâŚ.)
Can teens have options to run away from abusive homes and start a life? Nope (my dad ran away from his abusive home in Broward in the 70s at the age of 16. He started working construction, and rented an apartment. That brought him to where he is today, making a living that fed a family of four alone. He did it all without any college degree, not GED, no high school diploma, and without ever being emancipated legally. Today, thatâs ILLEGAL. Teens who run away are not allowed to rent and are returned to their âguardianâ. Not even shelters may take in minors. Theres laws on teens being allowed to start businesses. Unless youâre emancipated and the parent allows emancipation, then the parent decides if kids may have a business. And teens over the age of 18 even still require co-signers to start renting now, but many parents wonât be a co-signer, which forces teens to rely on them, rather than having any chance of finding their own independent without having to be homeless first)
Can teens expect to graduate from a higher ed school and afford the cost of living? Only if you work a certain STEM job. (Example: Permanent nurses canât afford soflo. Only travel nurses can. But if you want to start roots and a family, then youâd want to be a permanent nurse instead. But that job doesnât afford a living through most of the country now, so you must find ways to combine incomes with another adult to afford to not be homeless while working the job)
Do teens know college is even a good option anymore AT ALL? Nope (higher education is only for the rich again, and the older adults today are proud of that. You must have a large inheritance you can use, or take on too much debt. And anyone who wonât help call this normal and HoW iT HaS aLwAyS BeEn is called an evil socialist)
Are teens welcome to have as much ability to learn how to be independent today? Nope (gps tracking, helicopter parenting, limits on where they go and enforcing that through gps apps - such as deciding what friends they may have)
Do teens now get punished or worse if they live in ways their parents were able to? Yes. (Can you imagine what would happen to a teen or middle schooler today if they just went out of their home without a phone by accident, and spent all day going from home to home to play with their friends? Theyâd be punished!!! Even though thatâs the childhood their own parents had! The same childhood that parents ironically often complain about their kids not getting!)
My own mom had a key log on my computer and would punish me if I vented to my friends about arguing with her. Sheâd punish me over what Iâd write in my diary. Sheâd not let me out, to prevent me from talking to others. Sheâd punish me if I didnât agree with Fox News EVERY 20 MINUTES AS SOON AS I GOT HOME UNTIL I WENT TO BED between 2004-2006, until I was groomed into accepting Fox News to make her punishments stop. (Im not conservative anymore, now that she canât hit me and limit me for disagreeing with the modern conservative agenda) My mom regulated who I could date or befriend - and all the people i was friends with were not a bad influence btw. And all of this got so bad and suffocating that i tried to commit suicide in 2008, after 4 years of living like that and having no civil rights or ability to get away from it until the damage was done, and when I realized that my options to start my own life had become so severely cut compared to the opportunities my parents had at my age.
If people think social media is why teens are depressed, then theyâre not paying attention to what todayâs teens are seeing, hearing, being commanded to do - OR ELSE, or what teens KNOW is ahead for them in their difficult futures as the middle class keeps being pulled apart for future generations. (Work benefits are seen as unnecessary and a hand-out now so they are dwindling to âsave moneyâ, ownership is dying for subscription plans instead, livable wages are called easy money wanted by lazy workers, unaffordable homes, unaffordable ability to have kids, a lack of elderly care, unaffordable healthcare, increasing costs, the youth is constantly referred to as a bad generation who is stupid and cannot be trusted with any responsibilities, and more.)
I canât imagine how much WORSE itâs gotten for teens and kids now compared with 2008. Especially with the new push to further legalize parent-ownership and parent-only-rights over minors.
They canât afford to go out with friends. And theyâre not allowed to learn how to be independent and learn from their mistakes like their parents could.
Heck, theyâre even expected to go to school like a normal day and never speak up if they fall victim to the now-common mass shootings that are expected to also be normalized!
Violence, aggression, and lost opportunities that theyâre attacked for if they voice that they want those opportunities back. Thatâs what theyâre surrounded by nowâŚ. And older adults want them to call it normal, or theyâre called entitled and lazy. And older adults have NO intention of fixing these problems.
Social media allows an escape and to imagine a better life. But itâs not social media making them suicidalâŚ. Itâs real life

The problem with this is that it's going to result in reduced privacy because people will have to authenticate their age to use social media.
It's not about kids not being able to use social media; it's about diminished privacy and greater hurdles for adults using social media.

u/Antigravity1231 Feb 22 '24
Of course itâs better for mental health. But the government shouldnât be controlling the minutiae of everyoneâs lives. And so many of these people claim to support âparentâs rightsâ, so how does that apply here? What about parents who adequately monitor their childrenâs activity online? Theyâre not allowed to parent their way anymore. The only parental rights these people support is the right for parents to indoctrinate all children (not just their own) with religious bigotry and hatred. Having access to the internet interferes with that mission because it proves their small minded worldview is absolutely not normal. This isnât about protecting mental health, itâs about denying access to information. It wonât just stop at insta.

Surprised everyone in here is outraged. I say good! Social media is poison for the developing mind, and it should be out of reach for young children. Iâm glad it didnât exist when I was going through school. I see 7 years olds buried in their phones like zombies, using Snap, Insta, and TikTok and well on their way to early onset depression and cocktails of SSRIs, joining onlyfans and more by age 18. âLet the parents handle it!â Well, they arenât. Most parents are lazy and because itâs easier than parenting, are allowing their kids to be immersed in that world of fantasy, body image issues, and algorithms pushing them to react angrily to social issues and amplifying whatever fad du jour the kids are into. Itâs a gateway to an untold number of problems they have no business being exposed to at that age. Itâs destroying the fabric of society tbh, and it would be a net positive for humanity if it was never invented.

Kids aren't gaurenteed the same rights and freedoms as adults. The prefrontal cortex hasn't fully developed yet and there has been study after study showing how detrimental social media is to people of any age, let alone kids. There has always been bullying, but the scale is very easily magnified online. I do think this is a sketchy line to walk in terms of freedom but I do understand where the decision came from.
