Essay
My bill simply states the ability to restrict age limits on certain apps for younger kids. This is a good idea, because some apps including video games may be too violent for younger kids. It could make them more violent, more manipulative, and have a lack of impulse control.
I also believe that social media should have stronger age limitations because younger kids who are exposed to social media earlier lack some social skills, they have a hard time having longer conversations with others and it can also impact their self-esteem. It makes them compare themselves to other people at a young age.
In line 6.7 it also states that if anyone breaks anything in the terms of conditions then that person could get fined up to $50,000 while having attorney fees and court costs. Also, if you lie about your age and get caught you can get in legal trouble.
I recognize that there are some cons to limiting ages such as restricting ages on social media apps could take away adolescents' freedom of speech. By not allowing them to access social media it can take away their right to fully express themselves on social media and other platforms. It could also make them feel less connected to people, considering social media is a huge communication key to talking to friends and family.
