Can Texas lawmakers ban minors from social media?
Social media has been an integral part of our lives for years now. While there are benefits to using social media there are also some negative effects, especially for young people. Before the start of Texas' 88th legislature session, Rep. Jared Patterson proposed House Bill 896, which would ban minors from using social media.
On this week's episode of Texas Wants to Know, host Baylee Friday asks if it is possible for lawmakers to ban all minors from social media. Greg Sindelar, the CEO of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, voiced his support for the bill, while Caleb Milne, vice chair of the Collin County Democratic Party, and Delia Parker Mims, chair of the Denton County Democratic Party, talked about how they feel about someone from their area proposing such a bill.
