ny assembly parent law bill sparks debate over whether the government should fine parents for their kids’ TikTok dances
The New York Assembly is once again trying to out-parent the parents with a proposed bill that would hold adults criminally liable for their children’s online behavior—because nothing says “family values” like threatening to turn family dinner into a sentencing hearing. Meme historians are having a field day as the internet collectively points out that the same politicians who can’t even regulate their own wi-fi passwords are now trying to legislate “common sense” for parenting. Critics joke that the bill is really just an attempt to make mom and dad pay for the state’s data storage fees after TikTok trends break the algorithm.
