Brendan NyhanCan we pair it with an age maximum for service in the Senate?
Kevin Leecaster@brendannyhan
The Senate has whatever age limit voters impose already.
Ton Chrysoprase@GreenFire @brendannyhan Well, social media has whatever age limit parents impose already.

"Well, social media has whatever age limit parents impose already."
Have you ever been a parent? If so yours seems to have been different than the experience I had. I restricted my children's access to porn for example through my router, so they spent more time at their friends houses. Should I have kept them from going outside the house?
Dan@GreenFire @TonChryso @brendannyhan I am a parent. The solution to social media and porn is not to ban it. That does nothing to solve any problems.
Like a abstinence programs - It always makes the situation worse.
Instead, prepare them to handle it properly and safely.
Something our generation never got. And one reason why we are so screwed up over it.
@Danielsand @GreenFire @brendannyhan I mean, I found ways to access porn when it actually required effort...
@TonChryso @GreenFire @brendannyhan (/me and my older brother squints at unscrambled static on an unscrambled cable channel) “Was that nipple?”
But seriously - yup. They will find a way. We all did. Why let them make the same mistakes we did?
