Oh come on...Equating Murder, Rape and robbery, which have a direct physical and real effect on someone else, with social media is a very bad comparison.
ALL behavioral legislation is an exercise in legislating morality, and a threat to punish those who behave immorally.
I used to be on education and was around kids a LOT.
Trust me, they get on all the time without their parents knowledge.
Hello Friends, I am just predicting what the other side will say. I am concerned about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory through over-reach. I love Florida.

So you’re stating that legislating morality works? Or are you stating without morality creating laws work? But that’s not the point..my concern is your reply to “murder”.
where did I state we shouldn’t have laws on murder and rape? I never did, I was making the case of these silly laws like in FL simply keep parents from being accountable and …well…parents.
BTW, Hitler, Stalin and Mao killed those that opposed them and society “went along with it” ..did that make it right?Even though there were laws against murder. When there’s an immoral society laws don’t affect anyone but the moral . It doesn’t mean you rid of those laws it simply means you can not legislate morality into a society that’s already immoral.
It’s not a stupid argument unless you make it one…
Bad law. This should be up t the parents not the state.
Now the kiddos will have more time to watch porn where no age verification applie.
DeSantis should know better.
I wish we did not have to listen to the nasal whiny meatball talk in this video.
Has he already forgotten that? Now he wants us to believe that he's just "predicting what the other side will say"?
He is not credible.
Good, needs to occur nationally. Hey parents, your kid could get $10,000 for each account! That might go nicely into a college fund or pay some bills to cover Bidenflation.
Again: ALL behavioral legislation is an exercise in legislating morality, and a threat to punish those who behave immorally.
Deal with it.
Yes. Teenages need to get off their computers and phones and spend more face time doing productive things with family and friends; devloping true personal relationships out of the “virtual” sphere. “Cyber bullying” is only possible if you are in the cyber sphere or care what is going on there.
There is already federal regs on this so this is not something new.
Yes, it is.
This isn’t about morality but contract law.
If you would simply answer my question-—Do laws make a society moral or does a moral society follow the law?
It’s pretty simple and at the core of it...Deal with it.
(It's synergistic)
And, once again, for those of you in Rio Linda ...
ALL behavioral legislation is an exercise in legislating morality, and a threat to punish those who behave immorally.
End of discussion.
OBTW, your argument was invented by the pro-abortion crowd, back in the early 1970s, to justify legalization of baby-killing. You're keeping very bad company.
If that’s what the way you want it with your kids, that’s fine. I don’t want the government telling me how to raise my kids.
Well it doesn’t work very well. In spite of all that legislation, people continue to rape, murder, and steal.
The truth is that you can’t really legislate morality.
See #36.
Thanks for the explanation——As a Christian, I believe there’s God’s laws or moral laws. These are understood. Shall not murder, shall not steal, covet, etc. But the most important law is to “Love God more than anything”.
This covers all laws and as a follower of Christ we are convicted by the Holy Spirit and no man made law will make us moral....God does that. So I apologize as I was not and am not explaining clearly.
Here is what I was referring to in Romans 7 and in no WAY did I know “legislating morality” was a leftist talking point. Because if they were all followers of Christ the “abortionists” would not exist.
Romans 7:14-20—
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
