  • I gotta say, its refreshing watching a Dem and Republican work together on something important.
  • @TommyChmelko

  • @RGralund

  • @KS-tl8tc
    this is an end round to curtailing free speech - no one should support government's ability to curtail speech - parents should curtail internet access for children
  • I’m so empathetic with these leaders and proud & happy this is coming about! Thank you all for doing this invaluable work! Marsha, you have always represented TN well & I know you understand. Respectfully, Dianne O’Neil

    I will say it again. I just love Senator Blackburn! I’m a gay republican man. And as such, I see in this honorable lady a conservative who won’t seek to suppress me for being gay, and who stands up for anyone who is a good, decent, hard working american.
  • I agree something needs to be done to make internet social media responsible for what they allow on platforms for our young people. Drugs, weapons, hate groups, transgender BS and should not be allowed!
  • @S1ph3r
    5:08 what the heck do you mean “when will they stop killing our children”? If your kids are dying, why are you letting them on social media??? Like seriously!?
  • If they pass this bill first amendment will be abolished spell should not pass. Government should not dictate contact. There needs to be a different way but the way the bill is written will take away your first amendment bill and the way the bill is written does not address these issues at all as for predators. It needs to be rewritten and to address the predators but not your first amendment rights.
