In recent days, I've seen many of these topics discussed by quite well respected First Amendment lawyers on Twitter. The current that ubiquitously runs through their tweets is that their understanding of the 1A informs their advocating for courts to find that the First Amendment prohibits basically any regulation on social media sites including transparency of moderation policies or decisions, identification, regulations concerning hours, any sort of regulation on viral amplification -- this is all protected speech

And their preferred alternative is always, "parents should parent"

I believe I am a huge supporter of free speech and the First Amendment (two different things), but I find this quite frustrating and believe their approach is both unrealistic and turns the First Amendment into a "suicide pact" (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/The_Constitution_is_not_a_suicid...)

With some dismay, I'll note that this appears to follow in the theme of the Texas abortion ban. The law doesn't empower the state to prosecute, it empowers citizens. This approach is nothing short of an end-run on the constitution, and if it isn't stopped, the potential consequences are terrifying.

Parents should "parent" but children are not with their parents 24x7. They are often in school or in the company of peers who may offer contradictory influence advice and counsel.
