It is NOT the job of government to be the parent and I do not want the government parenting my children.
I'm old enough to remember the whole "nanny state" freak out over any perceived government intrusion into personal lives but suddenly they are all in for the government controlling almost every aspect of our daily lives.

When it comes to TV, books, movies and the Internet, we should not be eroding our rights and giving up control of our access to the Internet, young or old. Parents should be parents and control that if that is what they want.
What is defined as "Social media"? Many online games have internal chat features.
Is the next step that the government will only allow you to install approved games and software on your PC?
This sounds like a way for the government to monitor and control you social media accounts.
No. Everything about this is wrong.
