What to know: The Institute for Family Studies says it’s time to treat Big Tech like Big Tobacco, noting that “anxiety, depression and teen suicide have surged, especially among girls, since the mass adoption of smartphones around 2010.”

The TPPF take: There are countless tragic stories about the destructive harms of social media.

“Texas should be the national leader on the issue of child online safety by taking the bold step of prohibiting social media use by minors,” says TPPF’s Zach Whiting. “States place age restrictions on numerous behaviors, such as driving, voting, smoking, drinking, and entering into a valid contract, among other things. This proposal would recognize social media as a prohibited harm to minors.”
