UK mother pushes for "Jools' Law" to access deceased son's social media accounts amid privacy debates.

A UK mother, Ellen Roome, is advocating for "Jools' Law" after her 14-year-old son's death, potentially linked to a social media challenge. She seeks to give bereaved parents access to their deceased child's online accounts. Tech companies have denied her access, citing privacy concerns, despite a petition exceeding 126,000 signatures. The debate comes amid the UK's new Online Safety Act, which does not currently address this issue.
