Search Results: where do I stand

This question was something I thought was worth discussing. Representative Stewart from Utah said that he would be putting forth a bill to put an age restriction for social media that would require all users to be 16 and up. There's definitely a reason not to let your kids be on social media (i. e. cyberbullying, grooming risk, the issues it gives attention spans and anxiety, etc.) but there's also reasons not to forbid kids from connecting with their friends, especially if those kids are in bad situations with abusive or neglectful parents. It also brings up the interesting question of what to do for parent-run accounts that often picture or show their children online.

So where do you stand on the matter? Do you agree with Representative Stewart? Disagree? Do you think the age requirement should be lower or higher?
