New federal bill would require parents’ consent for social media users under 18

Posted

Governor Spencer Cox was the first to sign a series of bills imposing new restrictions on youth access to social media, however he's no longer alone in this.

A new federal bill known as the Protecting Kids on Social Media Act, would create a national minimum age of 13 for social media users and require tech companies to get parents’ consent before creating new accounts for users under the age of 18.
