I'm getting behind the push to put an age limit on social media. Who else thinks you need to be at least 18 years old to get on FB, Twitter, or other social media outlets?

I do think FB/Twitter/Youtube et al. needs to be directed to do a better job, but there are so many 'dark web' media vehicles with which to traverse, I am not sure how effective any directive would be.
(I assume this is related at least marginally to the latest school shooting..the shooter was 19)

I think that falls under a parents decision. Next you'll want to put locks on pants zippers and make girls wear chastity belts and make them be 18 to buy condoms and birth control pills.Brute 23":3h820ocb said:I'm getting behind the push to put an age limit on social media.

Rules and regs are for others. :shock: :shock:Bright Raven":3uwv4pnv said:Voted no. You guys surprise me. I thought everyone here hated any kinda regulation or limitations.
Actually most are publicly owned and traded daily on the stock exchange. Might have to have a stockholders meeting to place restrictions on use and that would drive stock prices down...won't happen.M-5":s3vri5t6 said:Social media is privately owned they have ever right to limit use ,Bright Raven":s3vri5t6 said:Voted no.

It does considering that federal funds and regulations are used to maintain, monitor, and regulate the internet.slick4591":157ot1or said:The first doesn't have squat to do with privately held social pages.
