Kids are going to be banned from social media. It's a matter of time.

Australian here - our federal government is currently introducing legislation to ban children from the age of 16 years and under. It's widely supported and politically bipartisan from both sides in the house and senate - all sides agree something has to be done. It's coming into federal law before the end of they year.

I'd say that the Australian government has the right idea!

We need to figure out how to be able to have people more accountable for what they say without causing privacy issues. There's a social accountability for what we say that's missing on the internet and needs to come back.

Not likely in the US.

Yes that's true R5. Americans would prefer the leading cause of death for children to be from gunshot fatality rather than infringe on anyone's freedom.

It won’t happen here because of $$$$$$$.

It should happen, but it won’t.

As long as you're banning children, make sure the child-like adults with the emotional maturity of an 11 year old girl get banned as well.

I think they should do that here in America.. it's long overdue.
