Ohio Law Lets Parents Control Kids' Social Media
Description
Ohio’s controversial social media law for minors is back on track after a court panel sided with the state, allowing enforcement of the rule that kids under 16 need parental consent to use major platforms. The law, designed to protect youth mental health by giving parents oversight over privacy settings and content, faced legal challenges from tech groups citing free speech concerns. While the court split on the decision, the majority upheld the law’s core intent — shielding minors from exploitative digital environments — and sent the case back for full implementation. This marks a major victory for state regulators aiming to rein in how platforms interact with young users.
