  • A Texas lawmaker has introduced a bill prohibiting minors from using social media accounts as school districts become a "hunting ground" for online dangers.

The article from ABC13 discusses how Texas is considering legislation to ban social media for minors due to concerns over cyberbullying, exposure to pornography, and online exploitation.

The article highlights the complexity of the issue, balancing the need for protection with the rights to free speech and access to information.
