State Sen. Mike McKell:
The concerns you have as a parent are the same concerns I have.
As we look at the data, social media is having a devastating impact on our kids. We have a mental health crisis in America today. It's interesting. This is a very big bipartisan issue. President Biden, in his State of the Union address, he jumped in really, really strong, and he said, look, we need to stop this experiment on our kids. We need to stop allowing big tech to collect data on our kids. We need to stop letting big data target our kids with targeted advertisement.
And it was ironic, because all of those things were in our bill in state of Utah. And, as you look at what we're doing and what our congressional delegations are doing, both Republicans and Democrats, I think we're all in line.
We see a very big problem with mental health. It's a crisis that's getting worse. We think social media has a lot to do with it, and that's why we care. I'm a father of four kids. I still have two teenagers at home, and I worry about it. I worry about it every day.
