“I do not support this bill. We do not have enough information about how the new safety commission will work. Similar rules failed in another country. Naming only 20 social media companies will just push people to other apps and give parents false hope. This bill raises too many unanswered questions.”
“Mr. Speaker, there is very much agreement with the member who just asked the question. It is hard to vote on something that you know halfway. We do not know anything about this commission. We do have a very live example in one of our country’s closest allies, where pieces of this did not work. We know that putting 20 different social media companies into a piece of legislation just drives people into other ones where they are not actually off and it drives parents to put trust in the government where it does not deserve trust. There are a lot more questions than answers in this legislation and that is exactly where we are on it.”
