Today, the Texas House passed a bill 116-25 that would prohibit children from using social media. House Bill 186 requires a strict verification process to ensure account holders are at least 18 years old.

Here’s my prediction based on previous events:
This will eventually lead to requiring IDs like phub in red states. If you care about privacy online or free speech, this will detract from that. This isn’t about children, it was never about the children. It is about control of what media people consume.
I live in a red state. If I didn’t have access to the Internet I would be a trump supporter who believes anything I hear like so, SO many people I’ve grown up with.
This is tearing down the safe places that I grew up on who kept me from being like that.
They’re already taking away federal funding for LGBT things, now they’re trying to keep people from learning it’s a thing.
It’s banned to learn about it in school, they won’t support clubs in universities, they are now trying to stop people from getting content online.
It’s not for the kids.
