I can't believe they're trying to pass this bill! It's ridiculous to think that the government should be getting involved in how technology affects children's mental health. I mean, who are they to tell us how to raise our kids? This is just another example of government overreach. I'm worried about the long term effects this bill could have on our personal freedoms.
