Repugs/Christian fascists say they love freedom and rights, but they decide which rights others can have.

I expect the Capitalist s on SCOTUS will kill CFPB. How could they not?

Utah’s social media restrictions won’t be ‘foolproof,’ governor says
Utah’s recently enacted legislation restricting the way minors use social media will not be “foolproof,” the state’s Republican Gov. Spencer Cox said Sunday.
“We don’t think it’s going to be foolproof. There’s no question about that. But we are working with social media companies, again, over the course of the year, we will be going through a rulemaking process to figure out what that’s going to look like,” Cox said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
The new laws, which will take effect next year, set a digital curfew on social media users younger than 18, require minors to get parental consent to sign up for accounts and demand social media companies verify the ages of users in Utah.
“We understand that there are definitely going to be enforcement issues anytime you wade into this type of an industry. It’s going to be tough. We don’t expect that we’re going to be able to prevent every, you know, every young person from getting around this,” Cox said.
“Kids are really smart. That’s one of the problems,” he told host Chuck Todd.
Though he is urging Congress to enact similar federal-level laws, states must lead when it comes to social media regulation, Cox said, predicting that other states will follow Utah’s example, despite potential legal pushback from social media companies.
“I expect other states to follow, as you mentioned, and then that helps Congress kind of coalesce and come to an agreement on how we prevent these terrible harms from happening,” Cox said. And though Utah expects legal challenges, “we feel confident that we’re going to prevail,” Cox said.

In the long run, they're ed, in large part because of the stupid laws passed.

Parents in America seem overwhelmed. Party allegiance aside, why do you seem against this?
Their kids get to choose who'll they'll be, why are you against this?
Do you think they're the property of their parents?
Kids eventually choose to be tricked by their parents, by society, or neither. Seems just to me.
Under 18? Living at home and increasingly unlikely to be working. Ah yah they are. And that's fine because the cycle allows them to one day "property" their kids. This format was successful for centuries.
parents rights tbh, they don't own anybody but themselves.
Parents are legal wards, not owners of the lives and deaths of their wards. Unless you think we still are, or should be, Roman-style paterfamilias.
Haha. And teachers, bosses, coaches etc. Time isn't frozen. Today's kids will be tomorrow's leaders. But they should be raised & taught right.
Your underlining issue is with the foundation. You mistrust the European model. Enjoy the increasing dissaray. Sure some teenagers are ready but you are robbing the overwhelming majority.
Yes, teachers, bosses and coaches. Why should they rule over me or you? And the European model (whatever that is, sounds pretty vague), too.
Why should any of that regulate me or you if it isn't suitable?
You don't believe in autonomy or freedom?
We are talking young impressionable kids on welfare. You support breaking a chain of command. How are they supposed to one day parent when they weren't themselves?
lol on welfare, I see you narrowing the case.
You think poor people need special tutelage the rest of us don't because privation makes them dumber than everyone else?
That's pretty dumb of you, tbh.
I think you're looking at things thru the scope of the individual/minority. I'm more macro the scope of a functioning society. Based on today's Civilization it seems my European model has more resources to help the individuals mistreated/left behind. Nothing is perfect. I'm more focused on the majority.
Lol the social determinism of traditional conservatives.
If you're prosperous, you're free, if you're not, you're destined to be ruled by others.
The majority of what?
When I was underage I remember classmates working. Rather rare these days mostly because of social changes- Americans working 2 jobs.
I'm not using welfare as a slam just pointing out these kids have never worked! Think back to how your life & scope changed after your first job.
Just majority of the population.
oh, you think it's just and right that people should be shaped by and adhere to, the prerogatives of their employer.
That's freedom, that's the real, European style autonomy and freedom.
Obeisance to the majority is liberty.
Hilarious, dude.
