Arkansas has become the second state to enact a law restricting social media use by children.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Arkansas on Wednesday became the second state to restrict social media use by children, as Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders approved legislation requiring minors to get their parents' permission to create a new account.
"While social media can be a great tool and a wonderful resource, it can have a massive negative impact on our kids," Sanders said before signing the legislation. Sanders last month announced the state had filed lawsuits against TikTok and Facebook parent Meta, claiming the social media companies misled consumers about the safety of children on their platforms and the protection of users' private data.
"The governor and the legislators who voted for this bill must not understand the harm it will cause to the privacy and free speech rights of the people they represent, because if they did, I don't think they could pass it in good conscience," Jason Kelley, acting director of activism for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said in a statement.
