Underage Posters Get a Legal Bedtime as Utah Bans Social Media After 10:30 PM
Say g’night kids.
Utah passed a pair of laws on Thursday laying out groundbreaking rules for children and social media. The laws require social media companies to verify users’ ages, obtain parental consent before kids can use apps like Instagram or TikTok, and ban anyone under 18 from using social media between 10:30 PM and 6:30 AM.
The laws are new and unusual, but they’re part of a broader trend, not just to reign in social media companies, but to set new standards about how the internet treats children. Most Americans agree that something needs to be done about big tech. However, the approaches we’re seeing will create a new set of complicated problems.
