My question is how will they regulate this? Most kids lie about their age on Social Media.
Great question and point. What it does do is make companies more libel if a child is on the platform under 16 which isn't enough but is helpful. Honestly thus bill is great the only reason they don't like it is because it comes out of Florida.
That’s true but a phone belong the to the parents and they r the ones should make sure there are no social media apps in their kids phone. It’s up to the parents to parent their kids.
Require them to show a national ID when they sign up for an account. That's what Asia does.
This whole discussion is ridiculous. There’s no way to regulate this. Most social media platforms already don’t allow minors on. But guess what? KIDS LIE!
I Would have Mike Johnson arrested for interfering with the Law!! And I'd have somebody watching him, for he is showing signs of a trader and breaking his oath to the constitution of the United States! You have to watch these people there sneaky, sneaks in the grass! Hello?
Exactly. This whole idea is impossible to regulate and will never be enforced
Minors are allowed on Tik Tok, Facebook, and Instagram. Which social media doesn't allow minors?
@@frankg7574it actually is possible to regulate
@4:05 Sunny doesn't realize that intense helicopter parenting just makes kids more rebellious or more unhinged and maladjusted. you may think your kid doesn't have an account unless you have access and knowledge of it, but that's wildly naive, and based in a need to control. the ego of a parent is a powerful and deceptive thing
@clipclop15,You are so right!!!
Sunny has mother/son enmeshment issues with her adult son.💯💯💯
helicopter parenting also robs the child of making mistakes and learning from them. It also robs the child of being independent and being private.
YES!
@clipclop15, your so right about Sunny and being a helicopter. Some of the comments she has made over the years about all being together for holidays could blow up in her face because if her son and daughter marry they will want to spend time with in-laws. When especially Sonny's son gets married, she will be vicious to her DIL.
I agree Whoopi. I didn’t become “friends” with my parents until I became an adult. My dad laid down the law. As a kid, I didn’t understand nor did I like it. But as an adult, I FINALLY got it. He was tough but he prepared us for life and I’m grateful.
Absolutely agree. My parents and our relationship changed to more of a friendship/confidant type relationship when I turned 30. At 30, I had done all of the goofy-dumb stuff, spent money I didn't have (credit cards), late night partying, etc. After 30, I started to see what all those things my parents warned me about; I began to understand the lessons and my parent's points of view. I firmly believe, when you're raising your kids, your role in thier life is parent first and friend second or third. Your kids have plenty of friends but only 1 or 2 parents. Make sure they always understand that. Because friends come and go but the good parent(s) will always be there.
I agree. I hate it when some people refer to themselve as their kid friend. What? His 8! Lol
It’s wild to me that America would ban social media before they ban assault rifles.
A fucking men
This country is ridiculous.
Well if they tried to ban something in the Constitution, it would backfire on them
Lmao
Absolutely 💯 !!
Whoopi Goldberg "you can not be friends with your kids" 💯💯💯💯
more accurately, you shouldn't prioritize being friendly with your kids, some toxic parents can take whoopis sentiment too far
Edit: unrelated, but you should look up “slushy gate”
I think it's okay to be friends with your kids when they are adults. I know first and foremost my parents are my parents, but when I think of friendship and what it means my relationship with them is also a friendship. And even when I was a kid my mom especially possessed the qualities of a good friend, but I never referred to her as one.
Sheldon weirdest 😳
@@crystalsnow1138 I think Whoopi meant as you're raising your children you're not their "best friend." Once they become adults, it's a different story. As Dr. Phil famously said, "You're not raising children, you're raising adults."
@@Darcey-t4s why do you keep being negative towards me?
While I agree that social media can be detrimental, this bill is dressed up to be “in concern of the children” but is actually all about stopping the younger generation from amassing community and working against oppressive systems and politicians.
Very well put.
You’re giving kids too much credit. In reality China and Russia are grooming kids through social media so there can be social turmoil in the U.S. which then translates to political division.
Remember when kids were kids. Now they have to be like Greta tenburg all the time to satisfy you freaks
Whoopi is correct that you can’t be friends with your kids (when they are an adult themselves , it’s a different story.
I don't understand this reluctance to make yourself approachable to your kids. They don't need a prison guard they need someone relatable with a dash of experience and authority. Being a friend to your children is an honor and more desirable than the opposite.
My father raised me to always consider him a friend first and dad second. Now we have the most open line of communication ever and I appreciate his parenting style so much.
I completely agree, my 5&6 year olds tell me weekly that they hate me because I took the tablet, or they can’t find their toy so it’s my fault and they hate me. My only answer in 40 years of kids has been, well I love you. You’re going to do what I said, go to your room to cry and whine until we can’t talk about. They aren’t old enough to process those feelings without the social media telling them much more than their maturity levels allow.later she comes out of room, happy again.Only once I reminded her that she hated me and wants a different family 5 minutes ago. She said I don’t know why I was so mad, I love you mom.
@@jbell2GirlDad Whoopi is not taking about not being there or unapproachable to your kids. However, while you're raising them to (hopefully) become productive, well-adjusted adults, they shouldn't take the place of you adult relationships. Your kid shouldn't be your confidant. That's called parent/child enmeshment when there are no defined parent/child boundaries. That kind of relationship will totally screw your kid up in adulthood. 💯
@@jbell2GirlDadyour right, their are ingredients involved in parenting. I sometimes have to put my foot down on certain things(5&6 yr old daughters) they want to start painting at 5 when I’m almost done with dinner; can’t do it. Very emotional-boys too at these ages as we try to teach them how to handle the feelings. Structure of dinner and bedtime is very important to me, so they eat good and then get enough rest to be alert and ready to learn the next day. Day after day we have same rules, yet my mischievous daughter always tests my water, yesterday 15 min before bedtime wanted candy, that’s not happening no candy after dinner, they know the rule clearly yet push the envelope. I’m 50 years old, been there done that. Just No, and then distract them with drawing or a toy they like. It’s not easy being a parent.
Sorry to say Sunny: Your kids have a second, REAL TikTok account that you don't know about.
100%
Do they? Or are u just assuming they do?
@@rainbeauxunicorn5237 I’m assuming correctly that they do. Thanks for the question!
@@andrev5992… what makes you think you’re correct?
These people are not concerned about whatever “harmful” content they claim to care about. Social media can educate and influence people. And the most influential people right now are the youth. This is a form of suppression. It is nothing more than control. We live in a world now where anyone
under the age of 80 just needs to accept “the cards we were given" or “it is what it is”. They know that these kids will see TikTok’s or instagrams or anything that will go against their agenda. They don’t care about your kids.
I agree with this.
So you don’t care what your kids are exposed to…?
@@nettegaines2067Dawg bro said social media is “Human Trafficking” 😒
I am so tired of people labeling eveything human trafficking....
I agree social media for kids is detrimental.
So are guns and war
@@sarahmitchell4455so protecting yourself is detrimental?
Anyone else laughing at Sunny thinking her kids at college aren’t having a good time behind her back 😂😂😂
When delulu is the only solulu
When did Sunny say that? She said she monitors his social media not his personal life.
@@Chillhard, he has to have his phone with him at all times, so she can see where he is on the tracker. Her son is at Harvard, ffs. She said this on another episode. He left his phone in his room and she got mad at him. Seriously.
@@naylas3908 Why does her family concern YOU so much?
@@Chillhard her family doesn’t concern us. We’re purely pointing out Sunny thinks she has everything sussed out, but teenagers are teenagers and they’re away at college enjoying the college experience, of course they’re gonna skirt the system and push the boundaries/make mistakes, like most do. I always think when Sunny is making out she’s parent of the year that she really needs to be careful. No kids are perfect, no matter how good their education is.
Whoopi is right it begins in the HOME
True. But, do many parents are neglectful. of their children and really don't care.
"Parents" that are not present for whatever reason, no matter what the reason, than maybe you weren't ready for kids. If you're having issues taking care of yourself than don't have kids. It's very simple.
@@darkangel4185 I hear you but as a mom, I can tell you the influence of these platforms start in the schools among children talking about it. I can tell you one thing, once I heard the founder of TikTok saying his children do not have it and that he doesn't allow his children on it... that said something to me and I stopped all of that mess.
I Would have Mike Johnson arrested for interfering with the Law!! And I'd have somebody watching him, for he is showing signs of a trader and breaking his oath to the constitution of the United States! You have to watch these people there sneaky, sneaks in the grass! Hello?
Sunny and Manny use to follow their son to school when he started driving to school just a reminder 😂
Sunny be so extra, with her kids all of the time..🤦
sunny seems like a nightmare to deal with.. i feel sorry for her future son/daughter in law
Her son and daughter definitely get up to THANGS behind her back. She’s an insane overbearing parent and they probably can’t wait to be rid of her
@@moogle140so true.
It's amazing that Sunny's kids are still alive with the way she smothers them. 🥴
At least she parents her children. I work in the school system where some parents don’t take care of or parent their children.
@tuggle0422 that's not parenting, they're gonna be 30 with no self growth ,that man (her son) mommy does his thinking for him
@@tuggle0422 She's still telling her adult kid what to do. I've no doubt she runs her household, kids, and husband with an iron fist.
I read this and then someone randomly laughs in the next room because I don't speak to my children and they are human sex trafficking me and my family and people I know with the police and the police false imprison me and my family since my older siblings were children
She pays their bills so tough crap
Why does the GOP feel the need to control every aspect of people's lives?
Like every fucking thing. I’m sick of them
Maybe if people actually READ these bills before saying things like that, then they would realize that they aren’t doing it for “control”
Sunny Hostin message to her children "if I don't have access to your Tiktok account you ain't got a Tiktok account" 💯
Except they aren’t children. They’re grown.
@@tassymccormick… but that’s still her child. Her son is “adult” aged. Her daughter is still a minor.
Parents don't teach their children to prepare for the future or how to manage money. How in the heck are you going to expect them to monitor social media? 🤔
The bill doesn't list which platforms would be affected, but it targets any social media site that tracks user activity, allows children to upload material and interact with others and uses addictive features designed to cause excessive or compulsive use. The bill would not affect apps used for private messages between individuals.
The House voted 106-13 for the bill, with several Democrats joining Republicans in support. Proponents argued that social media exposes children to bullying and sexual predators and can lead to depression, suicide and an addictive obsession.
Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms, urged the House to seek another solution, such as requiring parental approval to download apps. It also wants the issue addressed on a federal level rather than a patchwork of different state laws.
Other states have considered similar legislation, but most have not proposed a total ban. In Arkansas, a federal judge blocked enforcement of a law in August that required parental consent for minors to create new social media accounts.
Republican House Speaker Paul Renner, who has made the issue his top priority, said the Florida bill should withstand constitutional scrutiny because it targets the addictive features of social media, and not the content.
The Florida bill would require social media companies to close any accounts it believes to be used by minors and to cancel accounts at the request of a minor or parents. Any information pertaining to the account must be deleted.
Opponents argued that the bill would violate the First Amendment and take away benefits some children get from social media. And they said parents should make the decisions on which sites their children can visit.
Democratic Rep. Anna Eskamani said social media was an outlet and comfort where she could find support after her mother died when she was 13.
Any sentence that starts with “Florida” is going to end up a 💩show😂😂😂
Has Florida always been like this!! I remember thinking it was a paradise!
The only good thing about Florida is Disney world and even that is a overstatement
This is a ridiculous amendment. How in the world are they gonna enforce it, they’ll probably want to set up a multi billion dollar budget for it, and make the taxpayers pay for it.
Do we really need the government to control social media? I'm sure there are some valid points about this. Sometimes we should learn the hard way instead of trying to control everything. I'm glad that Sunny is not my parent. Her children are over 15, and they shouldn't need to be monitored by parents; it sounds crazy. I understand the importance of tracking kids' actions, but at some point, parents should trust their kids too. The only time adult children should be monitored is when they have really messed up or have done bad things several times. Am I wrong here?
Well social media will market to your kid. And it will and already is the wild weat of energy drinks and e-cigarettes and whatever else influencers feel free to peddle. So if you're fine with that, then by all means open the floodgates but limiting kids exposure to this crap is not a bad thing, if you ask me. Their brains aren't fully developed and they learn little socially from any of the interaction they have across social media platforms. If anything it makes zombies of our children and us for that matter. Some regulation is a good thing. In Denmark it is illegal to advertise those energy drinks to kids bit they still get pushed it all on tiktok and IG. The damage is quickly done. If nobody cares nobody cares. And I think busy parents don't have time to check what is being sold to their kids. And parents need to know and care and be involved and guide their kids through it, if they are going to have access to it.
Right isn't this what communists do lol
In Australia we take all phones off kids as they enter school and they get them back when they leave .Its a school by school method where the parents are consulted at time of enrolled .Also who in Gods name does your government get off on controlling how we bring up our kids .
do people not know that you can set up your kids phones with parental controls and limit what they can use?
Can you do a segment with tips on how to monitor and limit screen time for tweens and teens?
Wthell???? Parenting requires making DECISIONS. wow
There are apps that you can put on their phone ( that they cant remove) to monitor it all. Also phones have it built in them. I believe apple phones you can monitor another. There are ways. But you have to put your best foot forward.
I'm a mental health clinician. Social media is not a disorder nor human trafficking.
Why is Sunny always so annoyed by Alyssa?!
Jealousy
My dad never had his phone walking through the door and i appreciated that so much. No more than 1hr even for parents/adult. I guarantee it will reduce suicide rates anxiety depression etc
It’s another intrusion into private lives that the government should have no say in AT ALL !
If you are a responsible parent you should be talking to your kids about the dangers and have an open dialog to develop a trust with them.
Just straight out banning never works, as kids will always find a way around it if they need to.
It's rather funny. But, Whoopi sounds like a conservative with her argument that "it is not the government's responsibility to implement this". Sara's right. Where is the party of Reagan that believed in less government? This bill is about more government. Put it on the ballot and let people vote.
I think the best idea is to give kids a mobile phone that is not a smart phone, a flip phone that is not connected to the Internet or online. It can only be used for important phone calls. When they're 18 they can have a smart phone; otherwise no. That would automatically cut down on social media activity.
Also ban drugs so kids won't use them 😂
I say this all the time!!
Just commented something similar.
As a young millennial, this idea sickens me. Bc they only follow the negative side of social media and not the positive and how much good it can bring as well. Just like abortion, ITS MY CHOICE. When I become a parent it will be MY CHOICE not the government or these BOOMERS telling me what I can or can’t do as a parent.
I think it’s the responsibility of the parents. Work with the kids
I have to agree that social media is a huge problem for kids!
It wasn't for me growing up
Florida always on the dark side of everything 🙄 😒 😑 😩 😐 😕
Great discussion ladies! Government needs to stay out of ALL personal decisions! 👍 Stop playing God to the people that never asked you to do so!!
I was on MySpace when I was a teen and the amount of grown adults who DM’d me.
YES, BAN IT ALL PLEASE Gen Z and Alpha needs to learn how to get their hands dirty and feet wet without being babies about actual hard work!!!
I have never seen anything about suicide on TikTok if a young person is being shown something about suicide that means they've already been looking that up
The scary thing is what kids do on forums you cannot monitor, like reddit or discord.
This!
"The Government" CAN'T even get their own crap straight. Let alone getting into this kind of thing again..just like telling women what they should do with their bodies!! THE GOVERNMENT..is a very sad joke😢
I’m sorry but I’ll hate to be Sunny’s kid. She doesn’t let her kids learn by themselves what’s right from wrong.
Years ago people were scared of video games and TV, now it is social media. Sure, some boundaries are necessary, but leave the teenagers alone for a little bit. They will access anything they want anyway with their other friends or by themselves and by monitoring every step of their life you will just make them sick of you as a parent. Once again, some control is fine and good, but not all this
Exactly what I'm thinking, first it was tv, then it was video games and now it's social media. Sure they may say there's sensitive content and self harm stuff on social media, but there's kids who watch law and order and I'm pretty sure er and house back when they were on TV, what do they think is on those shows
I wish Sunny and Whoopi would let other people talk sometimes! Just hush!!
How do you even enforce such a stupid law ?
How are they gonna react when they get their butts sued for what is clearly an unconstitutional overreach ?
Our kids were grown before the smartphone was introduced. They had phones when they were in high school but they were just phones and they were off when at school.
I am a network engineer by trade. Their Internet access was strictly monitored but it wasn't a big deal for them. Once they were in high school they understood the limits of their access, but they also understood that we had to protect them from harm.
Isn't the federal law 13? Still too young, but it's already too hard to enforce...even for really little kids. Florida is stupid (and I live in Florida).
Lol fla is stupid 🤣
Joy asked "when can you be friends with your child" and i think the correct answer is : it depends on the child. Whoopi says her daughter "emerged" (which was a brilliant way of saying it lol) at 26. That sounds about right because even in your early 20s your teenage hormones may have yet to balance out. Some people dont "emerge" until their mid 30s. And some kids "emerge" earlier. It really depends on the level of responsibility and emotional maturity your child has. But no matter how mature a child may seem, even the brightest kids are still kids. Intelligence is not always a substitute for experience and there are simply some things you learn by life experience that emotional maturity and intelligence cannot make up for. So i think that you can have a great relationship with your child without sacrificing the respect for authority that your child should have for you.
Sunny, talking about her kids for years sounds overbearing, putting it nicely. Wish Ana was there to ‘put in her say’ about her state of Florida.
This guys compared social media to human trafficking.
Sunny, you have no idea what your kids are watching, trust me
I'm glad during my childhood social media was a thing but it wasn't Snapchat and Tiktok around back then.
These people of all ages will not survive without social media a lot of them
Isn't gonna work. Probably just need to get rid of social media completely. Im fresh out of Highschool & became a proper adult just a few months ago and its become so clear that social media/technology isn't just the educational tool that makes it easy to stay in touch with ppl. Half the time we're watching mindless crap and isolating for hours on end. Social media has replaced actual human connection and its killing us.
Don’t they like small government? Now they want government to get up in your business.
Didn't Joy say some months ago that children's minds weren't developed enough for social media???
Alyssa is the youngest at the table like Meredith, Elizabeth, Meghan, and Abby were. I can't leave out Raven.
Sara 🙏🏿 I have respect for you. Most Americans work 70hrs a week they don’t have time to watch over the kids
The language in this bill specifically overrides the authority of the parents. I disagree with the bill. It should be up to the parents.
NOOOO- do not ban or have government do anything with these corporations
You can set some policy guidelines that these companies have to comply (like GDOR)
That is a disastrous idea, think prohibition.
Let the parents decide how they should deal raising their children… when the government enters your private life that is wrong.
Any updates about immigration.
Is anyone else getting over Sunny Hostin? I used to really enjoy her, but if you disagree with her she’s not having it.
Social media is still new for lawmakers. Most of them are to old to understand it 😑🤔
Some probably don’t even know how to work a computer.
This is so annoying. They are only looking at this through the Lens of them as parents. So many parents are not present and they are not monitoring what kids are watching.
Must be nice to only work for 1 hour.
Sunny is becoming soo painful
Who is gonna enforce this? Why can Florida focus on actual issues, whatever happened to right parents to decide? Funny how that works.
Social Medias companies should pull out of Florida all together just like the insurance companies, The social media companies shut down services for their state residents over this bs law then the people of Florida would be forced to confront reality.
Again whatever happened parents rights " rules for thee but not for me " is the Republican motto.
Hahah grow up with out harm Florida has been harming people ever since Ron Desantis entered office
Sunny is a classic example of a Mom who loves her kids a little tooo much. She is lucky they don’t despise her tbh, and she may wind up pushing them away at some point. I would’ve dipped out of that house at 18.
Edit: I don’t hate her people, relax. I think Sunny is awesome. I’m just saying I disagree with the helicopter parent approach. The show is called THE VIEW. I was sharing MY view. God bless.
I would have crawled out of that house at 1.
Too much love for one’s children?? My parents were very protective. They drive me to parties and school events until my senior year because they felt it was safer than public transport. I’m grateful they live and protected me.
I’ve seen her social media posts. Her children adore her. Too bad you had a crappy childhood.
@@Chillhard my parents respected me enough to give me personal space and privacy. They picked me up from parties if I drank and defended me if needed too. They didn’t force themselves to control me like Sunny controls her family forcefully

How are they gonna accomplish this?
This table is so fun and fresh! Disagree on policy but can just have a laugh 👍🏻
The party of freedom, everyone.
Nah cuz as a 21 yo I agree with this bill. Knowing what I was doing when I was 12 on social media I agree. But there’s no real way to enforce this, they’re gonna just put in a fake age
how disrespectful of that woman sunny to say after 6 years her kids still don't get it that she's not available during the show
"If I don't have access to your tik tok account, you ain't got a tik tok account"
Sunny's Son "That's what you think!"
Correct Whoopi my mother said to all of her children I'm not your friend I'm your mother.
Social media is how those kids were able to let their love ones know they were safe during the Parkland shootings!
Exactly ban guns not tik tok bunch of CLOWNS 🤡
@@rocketmcgrain7947 They did both, they also used it to find missing loved ones (now the dead) on that day.
Sunny and Whoopi should’ve let Sarah take this. We got no where for the parents who are struggling to spend a half hour with their children between jobs. But at least the parents who work 11 to 12 know how to spend some of that extra time now😂

Sure do 😂
And how r they gonna enforce this? Bottom line is, the parents are the ones in control and need to know what their child is doing. If they have a smart phone? They shouldn’t have any social media apps on there but that’s up to the parents not the government
Im a grown person on tik tok and I've NEVER been "fed" ANY of that.
Don't Tread on me GROUP (MAGA) keeps TREADING ON US!!!!
I feel you, you can be their friend when they are grown
These parents are buying phones for their children at 6years old/.. this will never work
I mean…..kids will figure out how to create accounts that parents don’t know about. Sunny is fooling herself if she thinks she’s got her kids figured out. Speaking as a mom no a teacher. Kids figure out how to get around the parents.
I am 48 and my parents were never my friends. They were not people you want to be friends with. Well maybe my dad but he is gone.
I agree with this. Children should be using social media to make any money and should not be using social media. i do think 14- 15 would have been the more suitable age but it is a great act.
I don't know if I agree, there has to be some regulations to social media and especially children using them. There are some of disturbing studies showing how harmful social media platforms can be.
Bravo Whoopi exactly what I say :I‘m your Mother,not your Friend 👏🏻👏🏻
When the current economic reality has both parents working to have enough money to survive, it’s not easy to constantly monitor what social media your kids are consuming😢 Instead of making laws for citizens, why don’t they pressure the social media platforms to better their security? Oh, right. Those companies make money off our kids…
How do you enforce this? Is it like a porn site that says are you over 18 (or 16 for social media bill) not hard to lie to yes or no box. If parents cannot monitor it before this is not going to make a difference. I know it should be on social media companies and change their algorithm they use to stop these things. Most adults should not be on social media as they do same thing or worse. Some of the insane things I hear from family members in their 50s on what they seen on social media and it refiltered by social media to enforce insane views. There needs to be a focus on these social media companies.
I know some will say, sunnys house so sunnys rules, but that’s so controlling. Her son is in college for god sake, she needs to get a grip
So? Not your child. Mind your business.
@@rainbeauxunicorn5237 sunny is on a show called the view where she gives her opinion on everything so I’m giving my opinion on her parenting

Thank you Whoopi! You can't be your childs friend.
