After Australian youths were organized on social media this week after a nationwide ban on social media for anyone in the country under the age of 16, several lawmakers and other political figures called for the United States to do the same thing.
Congress has passed some general online safety laws, such as restrictions on the collection of minors’ information by social media platforms, but so far, Congress has not passed any laws that would change who can use social platforms, or how apps are designed for children.
“I think it’s a backlash from the tech industry,” said Rep. Ritchie Torres, DN.Y. “I see social media as the mental health crisis of the next generation and I feel like society is running an unprecedented experiment on the inventions that are happening in phys.”

“I think more collective action would be wise,” Rep. Dusty Johnson, Rs.D. “Obviously, we’re a country that expresses freedom and so a lot of people feel like there’s power that’s better used by the state, or power that’s better used by parents.”
However, Johnson said, He thinks that “We need to hold some of these platforms accountable,” noting that “they have technological tools that they can easily use to keep children safe.”

Rep. Ralph Norman, Rs.C., told FOX News Digital
“I think it’s terrible,” Norman said, regarding the dangers of social media for children. “I must have grown up and found out something that is destroying our children.”
However, some Republicans are also tired of the push to regulate children’s social media, especially efforts to create age limits for the platforms. Reuren Boebert, R-Colo.

“I’m still a capitalist and there’s federalism and we have freedom here,” Boert said. “But we have a lot of good legislation for solutions but unfortunately, the leadership has prioritized things that the American people don’t know, and I think it’s time to study the American room so we can pass good legislation.”
