In the latest action against major tech companies, freshman Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced a bill on Tuesday — the Social Media Addiction Reduction Technology or SMART Act — that would ban 'addictive' social media features.

How ignorant. Missouri shows its ass again.

Go Josh!!

Why don’t you focus on more important things, like GUN CONTROL?

Jerk!

🙄🤷🏼‍♀️

Such as ?

The Orwellian party. Next, he'll rail against free trade. Oh wait, he already did

Yikes, when are they going to do some real work for the people.

I thought republicans didn’t like big government

How about addictive talk radio demagoguery, i.e., Fox News?

Umm, protect our animals and preserve mama earth first

What is Sen. Hawley doing to fight gambling addiction, alcoholism, etc.? This isn’t about protecting people from addiction. It’s about punishing big tech. And if that’s all you want, just make big tech pay taxes.

Well, I, for one, am glad the Republican Senator from Missouri has his priorities in order! Healthcare, education and infrastructure...pale in comparison! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Um, what?

Oh fuck me running. Let me guess they’re gonna ban addictive shit like “honest journalism” and anything in spanish?

Huh?

This is not what Missourians need from their senator

... charity begins at home ... enforced charity should be tested first on trump ... there has existed at mclean hospital, for example, /for years already/, a smart room, devoted to net addictions, just waiting for the hardest nut ...

Strange to see a GOP senator proposing a bill to regulate business. Not even being snarky when I say this. Just strange isn't it?

Interesting proposal, I dont think it would do much of anything but this debate needs to be had

FFS

How about we ban cigarettes first, which kill 400,000 Americans annually.

He should probably act against Trump before social media.

Long overdue.

Those GOP love themselves some social engineering.

Keep the government out of making decisions for individual Americans. We do not want the help of a government that thinks it knows better. We know this approach never works.

Make a bill to support DNA manipulation- CRISPR? Ethics right? well stop the judgement and attempted control of the others lives

Josh Harley + SMART = oil + water

I thought they liked free enterprise and small government.

What else is this christofascist going to decide for us?

Hahahahahaha. Seriously too funny. How about science? Addiction DNA, media, running, biking, sex, swimming, tobacco, alcohol, food, talking, drugs.. one for another Addiction is hereditary...aka DNA Wake Up to SCIENCE

I'm not sure he got the memo that he's supposed to be from the party of small government.

As if we don't have more pressing problems in this country.

So just banning social media in general then? Also I thought Republicans want less regulation...oh wait unless it’s social media which they think is biased against them 😂

It's really more SMRT than SMART.

Small government man wants more government intervention on social media.
