Utah's new social media legislation faces limitations and parental consent requirements.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox admits that the state's new social media restrictions for minors will not be foolproof, but they are working with social media companies to figure out what enforcement will look like. The laws, which will take effect next year, set a digital curfew on social media users younger than 18, require minors to get parental consent to sign up for accounts, and demand social media companies verify the ages of users in Utah. Cox is urging Congress to enact similar federal-level laws, and he predicts that other states will follow Utah's example, despite potential legal pushback from social media companies.
