  1. Parents that want their children to have a phone in emergency or at school , could give them a cell phone with no internet . Schools could require only phone with no internet, like flip phone will be approved . Anyone bringing phone with internet will be confiscated.

  2. How about a social media age, like a drinking/voting age.

    Im so sick of everything all the time being ruined because parents cant parent their kids

  3. Google search almost useless in Europe, already! ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ˜ข

  4. Yea, our society is in danger. For example instagram became instaporn. Start banning social media because it has ruined an destroyed families.

  5. Okay thanks al international and community my family all brothers and sisters my family all amid and all international and community my family all USA the government my family all American and all history my family all freedom and Democratic policies my family all palatine the government my family all west bank and Gaza all the government my family all freedom and Democratic policies my family all amid and all from Gaza and jeursalem and all al Aqsa and all company and all airlines and all also export and import my family all peace OK thanks

  6. None of these social media don't care about nobody they don't do nothing if someone get hacked and make fake profiles they don't take it down and no customer service to help you especially Facebook is a piece of crap they need to alot more than keeping kids safe they need to respond quickly to take down fake Facebook account

  7. Your delivery style is engaging.

  8. Social media should be eliminated completely in the US , its a scourge and contributing to the downfall of society and the young generation . We survived without before and life and people were better .

  9. You can never in a thousand years prevent the bad stuff getting on there; best idea is to make Social Media itself age-restricted like R-rated movies, cigarettes, beer, etc. Add a clause to be able to charge the parents too.

  10. They should ban illegal activities on their platforms. Street takeovers, stealing cars, etc. If there is no clout, then they will hopefully stop.
