Isn't that more of a nanny-state problem in the UK/EU than a feminist one? Although I guess there's probably some correlation between nanny-state and feminist driven agendas. Just not a connection I'd ever heard or thought of before.
"You’ll have to carry me out on a slab before I compromise my defense of the Jewish people, their greatness, their history, their safety, and the state of Israel" -Josh Hawley
This is all about cracking down on "anti-Semitism." Hawley and the GOP have also supported anit-BDS efforts, violating every principle the GOP pretends to care about to justify austerity in the process.
I don't like American politicians working for Israel either, but I fail to see how anti-boycott laws violate every principle the GOP pretends to care about. The GOP along with the Democrats have always championed for interfering in foreign affairs for as long as I've been alive. The GOP has been the pro-Israel party since at least the 80s. (the Dems too but we're talking about major policy platforms and advocacy)
Yup, multiple Republican states are trying to pass nonsense like this. Consistent with the same kinds of Republicans that thought the Patriot Act and Jack Thompson were great things to support.
Two sides of the same coin and all of that with what we've seen from Democrats for the last 16 years. They just offer different fake excuses for what they're trying to pull.
Probably the smarter move. Have some age restrictions similar to smoking and alcohol. Although that still might include the side effect of requiring ID for age confirmation. It's also maybe a little late to make this move in general.

Not really.
Banning them from owning smartphones mostly removes them from schools. If you go after the parents you further reduce their presence.
This doesn't stop them from accessing social media on other devices, but it will still massively reduce the amount of time the majority are spending on such sites just by reducing the number of hours they spend with an suitable device in front of them.
Oh I know, I merely meant it might be a little late to restrict smartphones from teenagers through legal force because of how long it's been going on with cell phones in general. It's a lot tougher to enforce that kind of a change once it's already been so thoroughly entrenched.
It would be nice to see happen, but I realistically don't think that it will. And it would've been a lot easier to pull off about a decade ago.
This might have the nice effect of killing shitholes like Facebook. Depending on how broadly social media is defined it might not be all bad. It's still fucking retarded.
That will do nothing for kids. How about their parents do some parenting? My cousins kids aren't allowed to use social media. The one I know the best, yeah he's seen a bunch of shit on the internet his mom would be pissed at him about, but he has to go manually look for it. If you watch kids though, that's a lot different than the ones attached to the constant slow drip of TikTok, Instagram, and the like. They will look at that stuff for literal hours on end.
This is a fucking retarded move from Hawley.
His tradcon background is the problem.
You are wrong about Hawley being a feminist.
We both can agree that this policy idea is stupid as fuck though.

It's big government, anti-free market, and anti-personal responsibility.

Ban them from owning smartphones instead.

With what we know about the FBI and the Feds in general, can we ask them to please stop thinking so much about children?
your uniparty folks
Shouldn't the lawsuit part make the government ID requirement unnecessary? The industry can figure out how to verify or assume liability.

Conservatives TRULY fail at legislating the internet.
They also want to remove section230. Which will CRUSH small companies under lawsuits and leave only Zuckerbook and Goulag.
Maybe do something about the ferals and commies infesting the education system?
Guess not lol.
