Utah Governor approves new social media laws to protect children, including age verification, restricted features, and parental access.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox has approved new social media laws to protect children, requiring companies to verify users' ages, disable certain features on youth accounts, and set default privacy settings to restrict access to direct messages and sharing features. Parents can access their children's accounts and sue social media companies if their child's mental health worsens due to excessive use. The laws follow multiple lawsuits challenging Utah's previous social media legislation on constitutionality.
