California’s Catholic bishops are backing a piece of legislation that would prohibit children under the age of 16 from making accounts on social media, and are encouraging people to contact their legislators about the bill as well.
“The bishops of California share the concerns of parents and educators who see the harm done to young people through unchecked, addictive social media,” Kathleen Domingo, executive director of the California Catholic Conference, told the Catholic Herald. The California Catholic Conference represents the public policy voice of the state’s Catholic bishops.
