    Why are people looking to the government to help them control their and their children’s behavior? Start taking responsibility for your own life and stop relying on big brother to save you. Save yourself. Warning labels-pathetic.

    surgeon general also told us the covid vaccine was safe, no side effects at all. Completely safe for pregnant women. He should be in prison😂

    Another thing it does is make kids socially illiterate. As stupid as it sounds I notice a lot of kids look at their phones while walking to avoid any social interaction. Get outside and enjoy life instead of playing on your phones.

      some can argue that it should only be for kids and not adults unless its work related since adults have more responsibilities while tikok, etc. are just a waste of time which kids have alot of.

    They're just figuring this out now? I quit social media in 2020, and i haven't looked back. I'm so much happier, and have less stress, and I''m 37! I can just imagine what its doing to adolescents and teens.

    The warning labels on cigarettes and alcohol do nothing. Why are we humans so dumb? A warning label should mean something. (Don't mix certain chemicals, etc.) Y'all have choking hazard warnings on common sense things and if parents can't discern those risks using their own common sense, they shouldn't be multiplying anyway. You shouldn't need a warning label on a grill for instance, that says "Hot!" Social media, is not the same risk as substances you can consume. It can be good, benign, and harmful BUT it's up to a parent to learn how to parent their kids and teach them safety, responsibility, etc. It's not everyone else's job to raise them. If you want to be a helicopter parent, put that parent spyware on your kids devices.

    I think parents should have to sign a waiver for every kid under 16 who gets a smart phone. There are tons of safety features parents can set up to monitor and keep kids safe but most just hand the phone over without a thought. It's crazy how many parents try to justify kids needing smart phones, clearly parents don't want to put their own phones down.

      Don’t let your kid connect the console to wifi 🤷‍♂️ can’t message anyone if they aren’t online in the first place. Just give your kids over to the government if you’re not capable of raising them
