I wouldn't be surprised he's suing to regain the money Adam's spent with the events in NYC
This is indeed very good news!
Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech
Government and big tech are tightly woven. Adams is looking for money wherever he can find it
Take your child's phone
Information cutoff. Does N.Y. want to become China or Russia?
Mmm, parents can’t parent lol
Don’t give birth to a kid if you can’t teach them
good .algorithms got all our heads in our ass cant even move foward shoving nonsense donw out throat , no wonder kids are commiting suicide and ppl are miserable ..esp facebook instagrm and youtube going down the same rabbit hole
Next cities , states , feds will be suing cell phone manufacturer for a childs ability to add content. The phone should know its an under age person , and block media accounts deemed to harmful. wtf !!
Ahhh , parents that gice their 5-6 year old kids phones should be arrested for child abuse. Lets see legal age to drink 18-21 make that the legal age to own a cell phone , see how that goes over , in this messed up world 😂😂
Mark Zuckerberg doesn't have kids
10 Million people run across the border beating down cops in public and now getting free School, Housing, and food but the only thing the mayor cares about is facebook
How bout turn off your phone ? 😂
Lol arent they warcriminals?
And kids are stupider now than they ever before because of tiktok
There's so many racist things online that they refuse to take down
Socialism is super.
All you have to do is Shame , Scare and deprive people.. And they'll go along with just about anything , Right ?…..This just about the government being able … To Officially sky on and track people's internet activities and tying it to the Social Credit Core System they plan to rollout … They could care less about what children and teens see on the internet … If they did … They would have put a stop to it TWENTY YEARS AGO !!!!!…. Since A lot of people blindly followed the Covert Measures and believed everything that came out Billy's Fucccy's mouth .. why not just push more Ridiculousness on the population …RIGHT?
‘
Your the parents and you can REMOVE these social media apps from your child’s phone
But don’t blame Facebook and tik tok it’s like blaming guns and alcohol
Worried about kids and social media but not a problem with pulling kids out of school for illegal immigrants. I hope parents get together and sue the state of New York for pulling kids out of class for illegal activities.
Adams is a phony. He is incompetent. He is a racist. He accomplishes nothing. When will the people of antic wake up. He is continuing the destruction started by DeBlasio.
I have said for decades that social media will be the downfall and the ruination of this nation along with the corrupt government that we have.
SUE THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES is a great action.
Why is this social media's fault? Is it not the responsibility of the parents to monitor their children?
This is what they get
😎
Gotta whole city of criminals, homeless and pedos but this is top priority… 🤦
President Biden just launched a TikTok reelection account…..Reuters 2/28/23 “Why TikTok is being banned on government phones in US and beyond”
The party of its never the person but always the objects fault.Democrats are to self important to parent.
Stop and put the phone on the ground.
The click pigs in mountain view constantly allow obvious misinformation about the Covid virus pandemic, vaccines and antiviral drugs that help prevent and treat serious covid-19 illness.
No, they're trying to sue social media, because it's showing their lies. People can instantly see their corruption and what they're really doing, and they have to shut it down now. Man, I know they wish it was the days, when there was no social media. When we couldn't see what they were actually doing to us.
WTF?? Suing Social Media? …common people it NOT Social Media…it's the Parents that are in charge…if anyone needs to change their behavior …its NOT social media…it's Society. Give me a break with this BS.
democrats attacking democrats. I love it.
There’s parental responsibility and they can lock it.
WE got to get Prayer back in schools,teach like they teach in other countries! America is behind & dont care! The kids have no future,because// our // G,o,v.// Takes care of the /// m.i.g.r.a.n.t.s/ free stuff we pay for!!! Also "U" k.r.a.i.n.e///// pocket///// the///// $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I was surprised when I heard my cousin’s son say, mom don’t forget to pay my bill. He has bills? At 6yrs old grandma gave him a prepaid phone for Christmas. Since then mom pays for it. Spoiled.
The internet will ALWAYS harm mental health. Can't change that without massive international reform. Children getting harmed, however, is on the parents. They put a phone in the hands of a preteen, and didn't set any rules or parental controls. It's quite easy to shift blame.
