Utah requires parental consent for minors' social media use.

Utah has passed a law requiring explicit parental permission for anyone under 18 to use social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. The state has also passed a bill prohibiting social media companies from employing techniques that could cause minors to develop an “addiction” to the platforms. The laws also prohibit social media companies from advertising to minors, collecting information about them or targeting content to them. The impact of social media on children has become a topic of growing debate among lawmakers at the state and federal levels.
