Federal Judge Blocks Arkansas Law Requiring Parental Consent for Kids' Social Media Access
TL;DR Summary
A new Arkansas law that would have required social media platforms to obtain parental consent before allowing minors to create accounts has been blocked just before going into effect. The law, which was set to take effect on July 28, was temporarily halted by a federal judge following a legal challenge from social media platforms. The judge expressed concerns about the law's constitutionality and potential impact on free speech. The decision to block the law will allow further legal proceedings to determine its fate.
