   Common Sense Media has submitted a very dumb, no good, bad, and problematic California ballot initiative "to protect children" on social media. Today is the deadline for submitting comments. Here's the comment I just submitted:

     @afif the proposed ballot initiative (routing around the legislature) would allow people to sue social media for up to a million dollars for anything bad they can loosely connect to social media. Eating disorder? Sue! Depressed? Sue! Bullied? Sue! Etc. Would lead to a big mess, and the initiative literally says that legislature can only ratchet up penalties, never decrease them.
