This is so stupid. If we are going to regulate social media companies it needs to be done at the national level. I'd say their age should be voluntary and if it's a minor then yeah the algorithms should be cognizant of that. But that needs to be a national bill.
I do hope that these social media companies respond by just shutting down in these states. Even as someone who is unfortunate enough to live in Texas.
Hopefully they use their ridiculous amount of power to show Texas legislators who is actually in charge.
