Eh, ok... How do you stop kids from smoking if they can just leave home and take a smoke? And in an online world, prohibiting online activity is like prohibiting you from driving your car to work, it's just not gonna happen. Kids are creative, if you put up a website blocker they will figure out how to work around it, you might succeed for a short while, but if they are determined to do something they will succeed. So what are you gonna do, lock them down? And about cellphones, it's a device that can save lives as well, how would your kid call you or 911 in case of emergency if you're gonna take their phone away? It's probably the most stupid idea I've ever heard. The best way to be a parent is to be observant and informative, otherwise you're gonna be punishing and destructive in their perspective and you're gonna end up in a bad relation with your kids. Stop being a cop and begin the parenting.

Honestly, I wanted one so bad but shortly after I got one I *missed* not having one, though that's a diff. story.... Also, I taught middle schoolers for a couple years and they all had smart phones and even crashed the schools server because they all hacked it so they could play games on them, among other things.

Parents are lazy, ignorant, and uncaring, that's why the web is a dangerous place to be. How do you teach your kid not to get ran over by a buss? You show them how you do yourself, you stop at the side of the road, you look, and wait for a clear moment to pass safely over the road... How do you teach your kid to browse the web? Most parents just install parental control and forget about it, hoping the controls will suffice. Literally, braindead parenting.

One, it starts with the parents. Do not give your child or teenager a cell phone or at least restrict the platforms they are on. Two, Americans can just stop using the product.

@@ceIIardoor doesn’t make it okay… Chris porter has an amazing bit in one of his comedy specials about how corporate lawyers need or be allowed to have an “are you shitting me clause” and it’s so accurate!! This whole video shows what’s wrong with people’s brains. “Oh this kid killed themself because of something they saw online on YOUR app so we need YOU to take away people’s 1st amendment rights and police what they post” like uhm excuse me? Shouldn’t that be on the parents for allowing them to have free reign over the internet unsupervised? Or or or!!!! Pass a law that no one under the age of 18 is allowed to own a smart phone or tablet or laptop. But nope somehow it’s the app people’s fault for EVERYTHING?! Nah I don’t think so.

Why some people blame parents, blame this companies that are allowing this on their platforms. I don’t understand why we have so many sick individuals that would have sex with children, that is sick to me! We need also make strict sentences to those individuals and nobody should be protected if they do such a crime. What about Epstein’s crimes, nobody is still charged from that list. Is it our elite group protected?

This is disgrace. I hold parents liable. I hold all measures of justice liable. I hold the companies liable. Committee, you don't want to hear anything that is overbearing. But we want to hear it all. So we can also decide if you go back in office. Decide if we ban our children from social media. The parents that don't, well that's like leaving kid home alone. After all these tech companies are global . Kids shouldn't be permitted. 16 to drive, 18 to smoke, 21 to drink alcohol. Yet babies can see the world. I'm old and I think all of you are negligent.

How flawed is your logic here?? Sure, no body likes to see children exploited. But, this is the PARENTS who are allowing their kids online. Social media and the internet can NEVER be a 100% safe place, no matter what. So why begin to give the government unlimited access, destroy free speech and force platforms into absurd, wast policies for content... JUST BECAUSE PARENTS think their 7 year old MUST have an iphone, in order to exists. I think because "you worked for an organisation" your view on this is onesited, and does not take in to consideration the wast complexity of regulation in this field and the consequences it will create. Take this logic into anything else; Regular phone-company. Lets say a scammer calls you and gets you to transfer money. Is it then the phonecompanys fault that you where dumb enough to fall for the scam? No ! Take responsibility for your own action. Take responsibility for your own children. This has been a well-known issue for decades now.. It's not the "system's" responsibility to teach your kids. IT'S YOURS!
