Absolutely in favor of HF278. Parents must be allowed to have final say about their children's participation on social media. This allows them to protect them from media that is run on money. Thank you for making age verification a prerequisite to joining and parental approval which can be rescinded. This will save many minors from going down wrong paths.

We have heard all week by those supporting porn in the public library that it is a parent's responsibility for what their children read. Using that admonition, it is also a parent right and responsibility to have control over their childrens access to social media platforms. Please pass HF278.

Citizen Engagement declares SKEPTICAL of HF 278 due to our support for parental involvement in and responsibility for their kids and this law appears to relieve parents of this. Please address these concerns in the bill.
