Y’all-itics: July 24, 2022
It has become one of the most pressing debates in the life of a modern parent: when to allow their children access to social media and once they have it, how best to limit it. A Texas Republican wants to eliminate the guesswork for parents and ban any child under 18 from using social media. And in this episode of Y’all-itics, state Representative Jared Patterson joins the Jasons to discuss everything from First Amendment and parental rights, to why he thinks parents stand no chance against the algorithms social media companies are using the target their children. The lawmaker, who plans to introduce this bill during the next session in January, also explains why he doesn’t think social media companies will send any representatives to a joint committee hearing being planned next month.
