Judge blocks Arkansas law requiring parental OK for minors to create social media accounts

-
A federal judge has temporarily blocked Arkansas from implementing a law that would have required parental consent for minors to create social media accounts. The judge granted a preliminary injunction requested by Net Choice, a tech industry trade group. The law, signed by Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was set to take effect on Friday. The judge stated that the law was likely to be found unconstitutional and questioned its effectiveness. Similar laws have been enacted in Texas and Louisiana, and top Republicans in Georgia are considering such legislation.
