Clay & Buck were all over this yesterday. They're backing the Aussies on their social media ban for kids, and took a lot of grief for it from the Mah Freedum crowd.

we absolutely should have a social media ban for kids under a certain age. We have age limits on all sorts of shit.

parents in my town have been banning together to sign a pledge to hold them out until 14. Id like it to be higher, but can you really expect that in today’s day and age?

I think there technically is one (maybe 12)?

Not enforced though. Should hold the tech giants accountable to age verification and fine the shit out of them.

To be honest, I'm sort of kicking around the idea of cutting way back on social media for myself. The weekly report my iphone gives me about average screentime is way too high, in my opinion. I feel like that is something that was required by law - if not, I could see social media platforms banding together to get that feature blocked.

That crowd will crow about anything. You'd think drinking and driving laws would be pretty cut and dry, but back in the day you could find people who would complain:

These stories are absolutely horrible. My kids will be 21 and 19 in January and it's definitely something that has been on my radar for at least a few years. I've talked with both of them, but it's definitely a scary world out there. No one thinks they'd get tricked by something like this until they do. 

There are some sick and horrible people out there. My heart breaks for anyone who's kid falls prey to something like this.

@ohio-guy let's post it....

 

I average 2hrs 45 mins (ish) per day. Wife.......that's another story. She might be beating the kid at this point.

It's spiked a bit lately, but I've been right around 4 hours. I honestly don't know how I've devoted that much time. I'm afraid to ask my kids - especially my daugther - how much time they have.

My kid in college with decent to good grades still averages 8-9 hours a day. But she has a TV she doesn't watch. Go figure. Wife is pushing double digits mostly playing some game called Township. She must be one of the best in the world. Although, much to my dismay, she found Instagram about 6 months ago as well. 

 

Althought, to be fair, she doesn't give a shit what we (I) watch on TV while she's sitting on the couch. So, there's that.

@larsiu yep - my kids are a junior and freshman in college and get pretty good grades. I'd be surprised if their screentime was anywhere close to being lower than mine.
