Once again, legislation masquerading under the guise of safety could erode freedom and privacy

There is also the issue of privacy. Social media is both media and speech, and some social media are frequented by people who might not want employers, family members, law enforcement or the government to know what information they’re consuming. Whatever their interests, people should have the right to at least anonymously consume information or express their opinions. This should apply to everyone, regardless of who they are, what they believe or what they’re interested in.
As for teens, there are some very good reasons why the government shouldn’t ban them from social media. First, social media is speech. Even though the founders couldn’t have envisioned YouTube or Instagram, they did understand the importance of media, which is why the First Amendment says Congress “shall make no law…prohibiting the freedom of speech.” And there is nothing in that amendment that says it only applies to adults.
