Sedona, AZ — If I was a kid now living in Florida I would be pissed. And if my parents let DeSantis get away with what he is trying to do to those of us under 14, I would make my mom and dad’s life a living hell.
I mean, WTF is that old fart trying to do to us? Putting myself in a typical teen’s shoes, that is.
Who the heck does he think he is?
The internet is life to us teenagers. It is our universe. It is how we connect to the world. He will never get away with it.
He is supposed to be a Republican. Government hands off the people! Like the Pink Floyd sang …”Hey teacher! Leave us kids alone.”
Well, kids are people too. He sounds more like a Democrat than what he purports to be.
Anyway, there’s no way he can stop us. How’s he gonna tell whose is 13 or 14? What? Does the computer or phone screen pop up with the users age when one logs on?
If everyone who is trying to join a social media platform has to show some proof verifying their age, that means grown-ups too.
Again, I am telling you, if I was a kid and someone pulled this stunt on me, I would freak out. I would throw the mother of all tantrums.
Not only will I pressure my parents to stop him, but I will convince then to never vote for DeSantis or any Republican that agrees with him, again!
We teens live and breathe in a cyber universe. The older generations can’t understand this. This is where communicate with each other, value ourselves, form relationships and relate to our world.
How dare they!!!
Wait… I forgot. I am not a teenager. My bad. Getting carried away just imagining if I was a young teen how I would feel about the DeSantis ban.
I do wonder how DeSantis will find a way to record the age of any person using their device. How would he be able to tell the difference in age between a 14-year-old or an octogenarian?
Unless all the computers in Florida could be rigged to monitor your image and let face recognition do the rest, that is.
How would the social media platforms know the age of subscribers with no background info or the ability to verify anyone’s age?
There is no way to tell. DeSantis may have to force anyone that signs up to AOL, Instagram or whatever, to sign an affidavit they are old enough to have access to a computer and internet.
It’s a nightmare for social media outlets to enforce such a ban. How would they know who to delete from their accounts if they don’t know how old their users are?
Parents might have to report to the state if they have children in the house that use the internet.
And their computers would have to be monitored by the state to make sure the young ones don’t get on social media.
You just can’t tell how old a person is who is using the Internet. No way.
What’s to stop a kid from simply typing in “Pornhub.com” to get into the porn site?
Or go on Daddy’s computer while he’s working and surf to their heart’s content?
Will social media outlets categorize users by state?
In NYC there are no requirements while in Florida you could be fined up to $50,000 for state-imposed regulation, violations? Is that fair?
I don’t think the Supreme Court will have any problem coming to a consensus on this.
No one is saying on this end that the social media for children should not be regulated.
It’s just that if there is any regulation, it should be by parents. Not by the nanny state Democrats are fond of.

Tommy,
DeSantis is a MAGGOT Moron like the rest who try to do whatever it takes no matter how ignorant just to please the Orange Anal Orifice!
“He is supposed to be a Republican. Government hands off the people! Like the Moody Blues sang …”Hey teacher! Leave us kids alone.””
Also I’m sorry but I’m a Yuge Roger Waters old Floyd fan and you shot and missed on this one.
Song is Another Brick in The Wall by Pink Floyd.
I stand corrected. Thanks. Pink Floyd it is…
It’s people like you that are causing the collapse of society. Kids aren’t adults. They have no right to be exposed to porn, change their gender or do other stupid stuff.
By law their parents are still responsible for them, if they are responsible parents and not raising feral kids.
Did you know that 50% of trans people commit suicide after they “transition”. which is impossible by the way.
It’s past time to protect children.
People who are trans take their own lives because of jackasses like DeSantis the Silver Star JAG Lawyer which is the perfect oxymoron for an oxymoron!
Perhaps if the Maggots weren’t so busy trying to ruin and control everyone else they could manage to pass legislation on something, maybe something that would help M’erica like stopping Rusher before it annihilates Ukraine because the Orange Anal Orifice got caught lying about Ukraine so he wants to punish them for his bro Putanna now?
Oh Mary, your age is showing. Do you have any clue how easy it is for kids to find anything? They have phones, use their parents phones, have tablets, computers, laptops. The list is endless!
Hell I saw ding dong donny text 77 hateful posts on a Easter Sunday? and your worried about this?
Yes its a parents job to protect their children, not some old uniformed woman!
First it was porno mags now it’s video porn. The criminals tend not to be the viewers but rather those involved in filming. Restricting pre pubescent sexual curiosity has never stopped anyone from from being a criminal. Just as tobacco’s and alcohol age restrictions have never ever stopped their use by underage consumers.
Taking Sex Education out of Education is also a MAGGOT project like pretending slavery never existed that is doomed to fail and produce more sexual deviants and STD’s as ignorance always prevails over intelligence in the sex world.
Being sexually active and curious is not a crime but sexual ignorance sure as heck is!
Also find it tragically amusing that most of the MAGGOTS pushing hard on sexual deviants are the some of the worst of the worst! Just look at Jim Caviezal’s (likely a perv)film Sound of Freedom about a former FBI pedo and child trafficker portrayed as a champion of combatting child trafficking while he was deeply engaged in it himself. But the MAGGOTS and Q Anal’s ate the film up as factual despite it being a fantastical made up bullshit story like the Bible is!
Good people do good things regardless of laws, faith, religion etc. Bad people do bad things as if second nature to them, mostly due to genetics and upbringing or lack there of.
AN obscene post Tommy Acosta. This site is called “Sedona Biz – News from Sedona and the Verde Valley” NOT FLORIDA with attacks on their governor and eliciting obscene replies. Something has to be done about the younger generation and their constant use of social media. They are contributing to the destruction of the country, lack values, do not appreciate what has gone before them that gave them all the freedom they enjoy. I also blame many parents for this. I am no longer interested in reading Sedona Biz. You have gone off the rails,
Just attacks upon an obscene Governor (Silver Star Combat Lawyer 🤮) who loves attacking others is far far far from obscene!
Don’t blame Tommy for my 1st Amendment rights!
Imagine how high teen age suicides would go if we took their world from them.
Exactly Johnny! They already have to navigate a world of daily mass shootings in their schools, climate disasters, world war and a nation of morons who want us to go back in time 200 years because they can’t stand the reality of others having rights that they feel they should only have as they erase their hate filled, land grabbing, colonizing, racist, misogynist documented pasts just as the NOTsee’s attempted to do with their hate fueled rampage during WWII.
If you want decent well behaved kids teach them good decent things like being kind to their fellow human, right from wrong, respecting the rights and privacies of others, doing good deeds etc. Do that and you have nothing to worry about not even social media!
Well, that’s pretty ignorant. Before the access to the WWW, teen suicides were rare.
Two of my teenage granddaughters didn’t see a phone until they were 14. Parents didn’t allow it. Computers were passworded and restricted. If parents care, they take care of it. Set standards..
Maybe kids saw stuff on their friends phones, but that’s not living on it.
Many parents aren’t parenting today, and we see the results.
Why don’t you blame Mr. “Alternative Facts” for the problem rather than everyone and everything else? That jackass has set human and civil rights back by a hundred years with his vulgar and demeaning actions toward women, ethnic and minority groups and his LIES about anyone and everyone who tell the truth about his crimes.
Then perhaps you could attack jackasses like Elon Space Boy Musk who use social media as a means to profit off of the misery of others? Here’s a BIGLY secret about that lying ass- He did NOT invent the re-usable rocket! Google Delta Clipper flight video and take a peak at what the military was up too long before Space X was ever conceived. He hasn’t invented Jack squat! He pays others the bare minimum if at all to R&D stuff then he takes the credit and the money just like his Orange Jackass Daddy!
Social Media is dangerous but not as dangerous as MAGGOTS are to our children and our democracy as a whole.
I have a 13-year-old and I came home early a few weeks ago and heard moaning noises upstairs. I quietly made my way up and slowly opened the door to my child’s room and saw them and a friend watching porn on their computer while masturbating. I closed the door. I was shocked and did not know what to do. Should I barge in? Should I scream at them? I was so confused I left the house unnoticed and did some shopping to try to get my head together. When I returned home the friend was gone. I confronted my child later that evening and tried to speak to them about watching porn and my child said not to worry because all the kids were doing it. That it was nothing. I’ve spoken to other mothers who are friends of mine and some said they have had similar experiences, but it was all part of growing up in today’s world.
Kids have been masturbating since there have been kids! Get over it!
I see by the use of your pronouns that you are “Woke.” I would have torn into the room, grabbed the computer and smashed it into the wall. I would take my kid’s phone away until they were 18, and even then. I would have called my kid’s friend’s parents and let them have it. I would never allow my child to see their friend again. I would have spoken to my priest about it and the school guidance counselor. Maybe even taken my child to a psychologist. You Woke people make me sick!
Better AWAKE than Psychotic or a Sycophant stuck in the 1800’s! Your doing as described is not Motherly at all! It is borderline psychological abuse and a senseless waste of an expensive electronic device ta boot! A good mother would talk to their daughter about what they saw and ask why their daughter was looking at online pornography to begin with rather than break shit and have a hissy fit in front of an adolescent that is struggling to find their place in this messed up world! But violence in particular GUN Violence over conversation is the MAGGOT way isn’t?
Don’t get what you want-break everything including our Democracy! And all for a Draft Dodging Twice Impeached Treasonous Insurrectionist Commie Loving Racist Misogynist Criminal! Oh such a role model is he and his minions like Duh Santis! Almost Christ Like if Christ was a womanizing lying racist greedy grifter!
As for Tommy, I or anyone else speaking ill of the Silver Star Combat JAGoff Lawyer! He was a tough guy lawyer for Seal Teams in Iraq by advising them on the different ways to torture their hog tied and hooded captives in a legal manner! And he somehow like Silver Star Recipient JAGoff lawyer Lying Lindsey Graham get awarded the nations second highest combat medal usually granted posthumously for gallantry IN COMBAT ACTION not for shuffling papers! And Lindsey wasn’t even deployed there! He went there in his political capacity and stayed there for the mysteriously merited Silver Star! Sure would love to read their citations for those medals.
Butt alASS the Orange Draft Dodger Major Bone Spurs Tough Guy who berates and belittles those who have served has never served its country nor has anyone in its entire family tree! And yet he has a Medal of Honor and Purple Heart Medal he purchased (likely with his stolen fake veterans non profit funds) to hang on his wall of self love and adulation!
But you go! Break that computer because your kid masturbated to it rather than actually having sex and getting an STD or pregnant , crash your kids car if they have sex in it! Burn down your house if they have sex or masturbate in it! It’s the Christian thang ta do!
Grand idea taking your kid to seek professional help for sexual frustration from a profession that is known for Sexually Assaulting Children!
And “woke” people make you sick? Imagine how “woke” people feel about your retrograded ignorance!
BTW- I used to vote straight ticket Republican until I “woke” up to their lies and extreme covert criminality! Maybe one day you too shall WAKE?
Masturbation is an adjective not a pronoun but you wouldn’t know about either would ya?
Pro Nouns are- Racist, Criminal, Draft Dodger, Insurrectionist, Twice Impeached, Commie Lover and none of those apply to me.
Don’t break your Brain Cell over it!, And don’t blame Tommy for what I have to say. He and I disagree more than agree but he allows me to have my say in his discourse and discussion because he recognizes the First Amendment Right FOR ALL to have free speech not just a select few!
Can’t handle the heat go to Next-door run by paranoid NOTsee’s or Red Rock Ruse run by other NOTsee’s.
Well you kinda suck at knee jerk reactions…Yes a therapist or what ever you want to call it would be the right step….But hey, why your at it maybe a good beating, or bel,t with your over the top childish way of dealing with a child?
It obvious you have ZERO clue what Woke means….Its about trying to wrap your head around other people and what they are dealing with and except it!…..You idiots are on another level of not having a clue….and you wonder why were here?….WOW, JFC!
YOUR ARE A LARGE PART OF THE PROBLEM!……….with no solutions, but overreacting woih violence!
I think I’ll just drop a little Truth in here ~ tired of reading all this ridiculous go around that comes straight out of all the programming we have all been subjected to – and are still trying to defend it – thinking it is in any way based in truth. Yes, my opinion, may not be yours!Years ago I took the time to be a teacher in Alternative Schools and at the same time, within the county jail systems of Massachusetts. I found it fascinating that they all went through similar circumstances on similar days/weeks. What I immediately caught on to was this –IF they thought they could learn something “useful/valuable” to them … they were all ears and willing to be very present and attentive. IF they thought you were giving them a bunch of lies/ theories based on nothing in their lives … they would spit you out!! The one school I went into with kids that for whatever reason did not fit into the regular school system was a prime example. Before I got there – they had swung a crowbar at their teacher – when they missed they did put a huge hole in the wall. The teacher left without fulfilling the contract – and I was invited in to be the replacement. I took a little time over their lunch-hour to see how they might interact with me. Before long – one girl came up to me to engage. Suddenly I took the lead and said ” Show me your hand”. She surprisingly did. I took hold of it – as if to read the lines or something … (No I do not real Palms). I then looked up at her and said something about her that was actually recognized as true/ useful/ or worthwhile. She saw I was “being real with her”. That opened the door – and the others followed. They not only took that class from me, they also signed up for additional classes the next term.
What was I teaching them you might ask? Well – the first class was titled “Drama” – and I taught them about themselves and life!! The previous teacher brought in Shakespeare and talked at them. I spoke with them and let them lead me to where the greatest need might be. The classrooms were in the basement under an administration building. So I got permission to walk the class to the beach (where land and sea connect – so lots of energy!). It was two blocks away -and on that walk they were telling me about the pills they had popped that morning, etc. I listened – realizing that some of these children were in so much pain that they didn’t care what they did to help relieve it. SO – I took that info and gave them a way to “feel different” without doing themselves harm. I let them act out their pain and help to shift it with letting them gain insight for themselves.
Classic example – the school children were acting out the Patty Hurst Story while the guys in the two jails were acting out their crimes … one inmate got into the remembering of he and his girlfriend pulling up to the apartment building. The guy went to knock on the door and a shut-gun barrel touched his forehead. At that moment something shifted within him. From my inner knowing I felt he may have dirtied his pants … and understood that he would now have to save face – due to the confined dynamics of being in jail with these other guys. He went on to announce – YEP ~ at that moment I decided – no more apartments – only rob houses!!
If you have never been in a situation like this – let me just tell you – a lot of healing a growth took place each and every day. None of these individuals were required to show up for class – but they did so repeatedly!! My next class had to do with nutrition – it was called Brown Rice is Nice! Simple – Yes!! For the school children we went on field trips – including a trip to Boston for the Erewhon Natural Food Store where I could get them to taste weird stuff they never heard of!!! They got excited!! We talked about sprouting seed and other things that they could easily do if they wanted to. Many of them did!! For the guys in the jails they got past trying to get me to carry out their contraband. (Yes, they were sold drugs in jail and wanted to have it matched through some guy on the outside for who knows what reasons). They knew all was being monitored and I would lose my position and privileges if I ever thought of doing anything outside the rules I was given. SO instead they decided to take advantage of what I might offer them. I took in a hot tea (made of 32 herbs) … none of the guards ever tasted it though I offered. I took in a large container and just made it available if they chose to pour themselves a small cup. You see, in jail there are no choices – you get coffee that looks like it might have creamer of some sort in it and sugar. No choice for black or unsweetened. I taught them about their bodies (I was trained in acupressure massage and other backgrounds that proved useful as tools).. Their shoulders were much tighter than before jail time, as the intestines were changing in part due to the imposed diet. SO – they drank the full 2 gallons of tea!! AND – they asked if I could help them do some Yoga and maybe Dance moves – like Ben Vereen. Yes – I could. SO then they got the guards to approve the mopping of our floor in the hours before each class to help facilitate for the teacher. Little by little they took the initiatives that were being made available.
Now – some of you might have a lot of strong comments about what I am sharing. Let me simply state – the programs were created to help cut down on the violence inside the institutions. There were many goals and the programs worked. Sometimes the guards were jealous that they could not provide classes for their own children – and that is another issue. I was always treated with respect in both of the systems and the personal growth was able to be recognized – first by the individuals themselves, and secondly by those within the institutional administration.
The reason I am going into all this is to go back to my main point which is ~ Truth is what is needed!! The education system has been hi-jacked. Probably 90% or more of what is being taught is pure lies. Not just the science, not just the history, not just the math —- absolutely everything!!! AND it is getting worse… FAR WORSE if allowed to continue.
Today I heard from a leading person in the field of medicine stating that they have now removed ANATOMY from the Medical School Curriculum!! WOW – after all – What would a doctor need to know about Anatomy for anyway? They should just do what Big Pharma tells them to do and be happy. After all – it isn’t about Health anymore …
LET THAT SINK IN.
SO now – can we please steer this conversation around to something meaningful instead of the ridiculousness that gets thrown back and forth ad nauseum because we have been programmed to do that?
Just my opinion – so go ahead and have at me for expressing it. I stand by the observation – our children know and suffer for all the lies we have stood by and quietly bought into – after all – “they” are the experts, aren’t they? W.H.O. is not an expert that I want to listen to… their actions speak way louder than their words. And the children know -innately know what is truth and what is not.
Masturbating is a way of pain-killing – and it is being pushed by those with the agenda of preventing a return “Home to God Almighty – the Creator of All Things”. OK – here comes some more Truth for those who might still be reading. The Religious leaders of today do not teach this – and the medical schools and modern day science – well —– they don’t have a clue or are steered away from any discovery or alerting/breaking the old patterns of thinking. Truth be told — and this is not the New Age Teaching — oh No! Heavens – NO!
There is a third strand of DNA – We are hybrids. One blood line from Adam (the God-DNA strand) and One blood line from Lucifer (the reptilian Luciferic DNA strand) and the third strand lies dormant within the two. Now —when someone accepts the Son of God as their Redeemer/Savior (Jesus – who came through the pointing upward to Heaven /God side of the bloodlines) … there is actually a physical change that takes place. That third strand activates and united with the God strand of DNA and the Luciferic strand then goes dormant.
Take that in — and then realize the bigger picture. We have been given “a way out” of being trapped here.
IF we do not wake up and realize that – we get stuck with the dormant strand uniting with the Luciferic strand and therefore “choosing this worldly life/hell” stuck in the worship of the demon blood lines god with a little “g” – who cannot create life, by the way – can only manipulate what the true Creator Almighty has created.
Does anyone realize the connection with what was in those little jabs that so many lined up for? It was even called Luciferase as I recall. OK … one new piece of information has a way of changing the whole picture.
I know some of you do not want to hear any of what I am saying today — and that is OK. However, you may also find a little bit of this as something that may actually have some value in some way to you. IF so – you might be taking a deeper dive into “what you thought was true: …. I have been doing that for years now …. always self-examining – always looking for more of the truth buried within all the lies. I have overturned my previous beliefs that the Bible was either not true or was not worthwhile do to all those excuses we were told along the way. I am a student of Christology – and I do not call myself a Christian (that was actually a term provided by the Roman System as a reason for some taxation rules).
Whatever you believe – whatever your opinions – I simply ask — take a look at what you think you know and are so invested in believing … and open up to what might be a greater truth. That’s my spiel for today. I only write in here when I am strongly guided with “something worthwhile to say.” Thanks for taking the time to read through.
Well there ya go! Accusing others of being programmed and then you go into a biblical nonsensical rant. I was almost on board with ya till that.
I’m not programmed. Quite the opposite I still believe in Democracy and true law and order not mob rule! I’m an ex soldier and ex cop so I too know a thing or two about mankind and it’s evils without being brainwashed with religious indoctrinations or Russian Propaganda Parody News comedies like OAN, RT, NewsMax, Fux, Brain Wars or any other anti American propaganda!
Is there propaganda on the left as well? Of course there is but it’s not designed to cause Insurrection, Treason or Collusion through violence.
I actually watch many of the right’s Rusher Propaganda and also watch normal news like PBS, SKY, BBC etc. The contrasts are clear and stark! The rights BS is full of sensationalism, outright lies and are a constant feed of hysteria and hyperbole bullshit designed to make people fearful but also angry. Normal newscasts just report the damned news! No sitcom bromances among NOTsee rich Campbell Soup Kids like Fu@ker Carlson, no wannabe CIA and Secret Service Lapel pins for tough guy jerkoff Sean Insanity, no grifting or hawking of bullshit an approved potions and boner powders to prevent one from being turned gay by gay frogs created by Chem trails somehow pumping through commercial and military jet engines so delicate a grain of sand could seize them as told on Brain Wars by the NOTsee who likes to lie about dead kids.
Let me leave you with the Ret. MG Mark Milley a decorated Special Operations Warrior had to say about some of the very things I have stated on here and pay attention to the part about wanting to understand White Rage. To allow MAGGOTS to take over this country in silence is a crime against our democracy, history and all those who valiantly sacrificed their lives for the concept of Democracy to have been in vain! Staying silent now is no different than those who remained silent as Hitler staged his Insurrection against the German government, was pardoned by some NOTsee sympathizing anti semite Judges and the rest is history which IS repeating itself!
Brainwashed Germans didn’t wake up until Eisenhower forced them into the concentration camps to recover and bury remains of holocaust victims left scattered in piles throughout their little camp sunshine’s! Everything was fun and games until the fog was lifted and reality bitch slapped them into the present.
Don’t be another brainwashed NOTsee!

Hey Tommy, why do you allow JB to post mindless rants? I don’t take the time to read his drivel, but it lowers the quality of the site.
As the comments are subject to review, I would wonder about the mindset of the reviewer.
More than one site had failed due to angry trolls taking it over.
Hi Mike. Thank you for posting.You should read what I edit out. LOL. Look, the comments section is not for the feint hearted. I’ve left it open for people like JB and others that might be ignored in the general media, to be heard. That’s why I really don’t care who is posting as whomever they wish. People fear retaliation in this town. I give them a platform. This is the U.S.A. If something offends one, then don’t read it. If something gets you angry, then let them have it. Personally, I get a kick out of J.B.’s puns, even when I don’t agree with what he is saying. My favorite part of Sedona.biz is the comments section. I love the banter, the different points of views and the humor. Audience engagement is what it’s all about. Let’s appreciate Freedom of the Press, while we still have it.
Tommy,
thank you for your support of my First Amendment rights and the courage to post my horrible truths some don’t care to hear but need too apparently.
I personally am against hate speech and those who support it as free speech even though it most often leads to physical violence upon those it is used against as a weapon.
Guess the truth hurts huh? Don’t like it don’t offend me with your contributions to the destruction of our democracy.
Many non MAGGOTS agree fully with what I have stated on here because it is un deniably 100% true! Or are you going to tell me the Orange Jackass isn’t a Draft Dodger, Twice Impeached, Insurrectionist, Treasonous, Misogynist, Racist? Those are all known documented FACTs whether you accept them or not!
Can’t stand truth to power? Don’t like my First Amendment Rights? Too bad how Saaaaddd as the Orange ill Douche likes to say!
Unlike others on here, I have NOT threatened anyone nor have I childishly whined about what usernames they use. And I have not spouted LIES and CONSPIRACY nonsense as many on here have.
Sorry Pal I’m here to stay unless Tommy wants me gone.
You want Stalinist Censorship of all things truthful so long as it fits the MAGGOT Agenda.
Bet you laugh when the Angry Orange Troll attacks the disabled, the disfigured, Gold Star Families the captured and tortured and the deceased, Judges and their Families, other world leaders, women, minorities, dead school children blown away senselessly because we’re too ignorant to recognize a serious gun problem when it kicks us in the head daily, NATO, or Military and it’s leaders and all the things that used to matter and were off limits in M’erica!
Butt that’s ok Trolling huh?
Oddly enough kids can live without modern technology and a smartphone. Get them an old style flip phone.
When your 13 year old comes home and tells you his girlfriend is pregnant and her parents are making her keep it, are you going to be happy he was sexualized by electronic smut?
Their lives are ruined, but hey, everyone was doing it ! Are you going to support or baby sit your grandkid of your 14 year old kid? But everybody is doing it !
There was a saying, if everyone was jumping off a cliff, would you do it?
Sex is great, between consenting adults, teenage sex can ruin lives. This is nothing new.
So much to unpack from such a dated and jaded sentiment.
My kid neither got pregnant nor caused a pregnancy because I spoke to them on a regular basis.
Looking at porn does NOT impregnate anyone sorry to tell ya! Nor can you interact with those in the videos seen on Porn Hubris or whatever. You can see porn and interact with criminal child predators on AssBook, YouTube, Tic Toc, X, and Lies Socially Acceptable where violence bothe sexual and non sexual are the absolute norm.
Blaming pornography on teen pregnancy and abductions is like blaming National Geographic for inciting rape and abduction by showing the naked breasts and genitalia of cultures who do not use clothing the same way as prudish hypocrite Americans. You could but you’d be dead wrong due to IGNORANCE.
Mary C. Your statement that 50% of transgender people commit suicide after they transition is completely false. Not sure where you are getting this misinformation/disinformation, but it is not true!
