To clarify, what I am proposing is very simple. This is not about the significant amount of social media issues that are emerging as we discuss this. I am talking about taking down sites that provide harmful content, for example, a site that tells a child to do a certain task every day for 50 days and on the 50th day, tells him or her to take his or her life or a site that promotes deprivation of food. I am not talking about online bullying. I am talking about particular sites. My point is that this is very simple legislation that could be simply and easily implemented.
