Then an emotional video was shown blaming social media for these kids’ demise. One of those bills, The Protecting Kids on Social Media Act, would set a minimum age of 13 to use social media and would require parental consent for 13 through 17 year-olds. I am convinced that a limitation of social media use for kids under seventeen would damage kids and weaken the nation. But at the heart of the hearing were the stories of kids damaged or killed by criminals using social media.
