Utah’s New Requirements for Teens & Social Media Will ‘Transform the Internet’
We are facing an epidemic of depression, despair, and suicidal thoughts among our teenagers. Have you seen it in your own home? It is no coincidence that these numbers are skyrocketing along with the rapid growth in teens being engrossed in social media. So what can we as parents do? Do we need to take away their phones or are there other ways to keep our children away from the most toxic influences online?
Utah is taking groundbreaking steps by forcing residents to be eighteen years old to create a social media account or have parental permission if they are younger. New legislation there also requires users to prove they are adults before being allowed to access pornographic sites.
Sara welcomes Michigan State University Law Professor Adam Candeub, who is also a senior fellow at the Center for Renewing America. Prof. Candeub explains why he believes Utah is on the right track and that requiring proof of identification every time people log on will “transform the internet.”
At the end of every episode, Sara reminds us that each of us needs to stand up, speak out, and find others who will join us in the urgent work of protecting our most cherished freedoms, our precious children, and our very way of life. But what exactly does she mean by standing up and speaking out? What does that look like?
She’s thought about it a lot. And in the past week, she’s given speeches to very prominent groups in Texas and in Washington, D.C. The message is simple but urgent. Everyone must step up to save this nation, and, yes, that means you!
Sara shares how our veterans and Gold Star families have given so much to preserve this nation and how she watched members of our Armed Forces giving their last ounce of devotion to their brothers in uniform and the nation they love. We should never sit back and assume our military, some politicians, and prominent activists will fight all of our battles for us. Each of us has a voice and the freedom to speak out about what we believe and why it’s important. And we need every single like-minded voice to be part of this fight – not just in the weeks leading up to Election Day but every day of the year.
Our freedoms are under assault every day by people and groups who want to uproot the foundations of our great nation. They are not going to stop unless the silent majority becomes the unsilent majority and every single one of us speaks up for what we know is right.
