Majority supports banning kids from social media and using smartphones in school: poll [Video]

A clear majority of Americans support banning children from using social media until they are over 16 years old, according to a new poll.

The Wednesday poll from Grinnell College found that 55% of U.S. adults favor such a ban. Support for the move spiked to 65% among Americans who have children under 18 years old in the home.

Another 57% say they would support fully banning smartphones in schools, and 52% say parents should be allowed to sue social media companies for content that harmed their children.

Grinnell College conducted the poll alongside Selzer & Company, surveying 1,005 U.S. adults from March 11-17.
