  • A bill in North Carolina that would restrict social media access for some teenagers is on its way to the Senate.

The article from Yahoo News discusses a proposed bill in Utah that aims to restrict teenagers' access to social media. Under the bill, social media companies would be required to verify the ages of Utah residents and obtain parental consent before allowing minors to use their platforms. The legislation also includes provisions that would allow parents to access their children's social media accounts and impose a curfew on social media use from 10:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. for minors. Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to protect young people from the potential harms of social media, while critics express concerns about privacy and the feasibility of enforcing such regulations.
