Republican State Rep Jared Patterson of Denton County says he's making good on a promise to protect children from what he calls the "harmful mental health effects of social media."A North Texas state representative has filed a bill that would prohibit social media use for all Texas minors.
Republican State Rep Jared Patterson of Denton County says he's making good on a promise to protect children from what he calls the "harmful mental health effects of social media." Katie Naranjo, chair of the Travis County Democratic Party, and Andy Hogue, Travis County GOP communications director, joined FOX 7 Austin's Mike Warren to discuss.I think it raises a lot of important issues around social media and the content as well as what's appropriate. You know, we saw the insurrection on January six from social media organizations, and it's not just media and others. You have Parler and kind of, you know, third party groups that are more insular.
Regulation is important, but I think regulation that isn't a "one size fits all" needs to be addressed here. We have to hold the free market accountable for what is their main interest, which is profit and the government's main interest, which is people. And so it's people that are being harmed in social media, and it's the government that's going to come up with the solution because the free market has yet to actually do so.
