I haven't read the article, but I can tell you, I believe that the focus should be on the apps and the companies who create and develop them. There are more than enough resources and technology out there which can help limit access to social media for young users, and which can control what kind of content they are exposed to. They just don't want to spend the money. Good, ethical business is not cheap.
Current standard for age verification is to enter your birthday. Any dumb ass kid can simply input an older birthday. And while I agree that it is still a parent's responsibility, the odds are stacked against us. I think it is time we start asking for ethics in business.
I despise DeSantis and I don't believe he does anything altruistically but this is definitely an interesting concept addressing a serious issue.
I believe he's mired in the Seven Mountains Mandate.

Have you read The Parable of the Talents? Every day we inch closer to the future described by Butler.
This was in the DeSantis speech:
“Put on the full armor of God. Stand firm against the left’s schemes. You will face flaming arrows, but if you have the shield of faith, you will overcome them, and in Florida we walk the line here,” DeSantis told the audience at Hillsdale College in February. “And I can tell you this, I have only begun to fight.”
This is from the book after a Christian zealot (who wants to "make America great again") gets elected president:
"A strong Christian America" he said, "needs strong Christian American soldiers to reunite, rebuild, and defend it." In almost the same breath, he spoke of both "the generosity and love that we must show to one another, to all of our fellow Christian Americans," and "the destruction we must visit upon traitors and sinners, those destroyers in our midst."
