Should PA Require Parental Consent to Create Social Media Profiles?

Keystone Reckoning Podcast

Navigating the digital landscape as a parent and policy expert, I'm Jesse White, and in my latest Keystone Reckoning Podcast episode, we tackle the hot-button issue of parental consent in the age of social media. As I dissect Pennsylvania's House Bill 2017 and Senate Bill 22, you'll gain invaluable insights into how these legislative measures could reshape our kids' online experiences. By scrutinizing the responsibilities these bills propose for tech giants—from securing consent to safeguarding data—I lay out the stakes for our children's digital well-being. Join me for a compelling exploration of what these potential laws mean for targeted online content and the overarching implications for privacy in young lives.
Every parent has faced the modern conundrum of managing screen time, and this episode is no exception. We'll explore the intricate dance between fostering digital savviness and guarding against the risks that come with it. From the decision to bid farewell to apps like Roblox to the double-edged sword that is YouTube Kids, I share personal stories and expert views on guiding our children through this ever-connected world. Listen in as we discuss the necessity of vigilant parenting in tandem with applauding legislative initiatives aimed at compelling social media platforms to prioritize the protection of their youngest users. This isn't just policy talk; it's about shaping a safer digital future for every child.
