You want your kids to work, struggle, learn to clean their rooms, make their own breakfast, do their own homework, and not have chat GPT righted for them. So I think AI is going to be a real problem. And that's why it is so crucial that we enact the four reforms this year in 2025, because we've got to establish the principle this year that children are not adults. We know that in the real world.

There's all kinds of restrictions in the real world. But online, we're like, ah, you know, it's kind of hard. You know, what are we going to do? Ask for identification. Anyone can go anywhere. Just say you're 18. You can go anywhere. That's got to stop. And we've got to stop it this year, 2025. Australia is leading the charge. Australia is going to do it.

In the US, I don't expect that we'll do it. States are trying to do it, but they get held up in court. Meta supports lots of organizations that will just sue everybody who tries to do reform. But the thing is, we can do most of this without Congress. We can do it at the state level. Many other countries are doing it. And we can do it at the school level.

I just spoke, when I was out in LA a month ago, I spoke to the Conference of California State Superintendents, one of the most enthusiastic, wonderful audience I've ever spoken to. They all see the problem. The phones are wreaking havoc in their schools, on test scores, they're trying to do a job and the phones and the computers is making impossible. So they were rallying to the cause.

And so what I'm saying is, Yes, this is a huge problem. It's a huge problem because we got pushed into it by collective forces. But the way we get out of it quickly is by acting together. So just keep trying. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Talk to especially the parents of your kids' friends. You will find them much more receptive now than they were 11 months ago.

That I can't say. We loved the elementary school that my kids went to. It was just wonderful. We can't imagine anything better. Some of the private schools got really deeply into ideological stuff in the 2010s. And so that was part of our decision in New York City was like, there's no school we could send them to in New York. We don't want them exposed to all that, the political stuff. Mm-hmm.
