The Eyes on the Board Act Is Yet Another Misguided Attempt to Limit Social Media for Teens

... may have good intentions...
This is absolutely an idiotic attempt to censor kids from finding out just how full of shit they are.
Seems a good way to censor a whole generation and limit their ability to organize
- In Canada social media sites are blocked on many government networks. Unless they're required for the role.
  
  I would be not at all surprised if the DMV can’t use social media. Congress just doesn’t limit itself much
another worrying side effect is that when school shootings happen, students won't be able to post for help to social media
- I'd think texting or something might be more effective? I'm not down with blocking kid's abilities to find stuff at all, but has social media been used for getting help with imminent danger?
Children are an oppressed minority being targeted by censorship. The EFF as always has the correct take here.
