Utah is the first state in the nation to begin restricting how minors can use social media apps.
McKell refused to answer when asked why the concern for the safety of children behind the social media legislation did not extend to firearms.
“SB 152 would require companies to keep a ‘record of any submissions provided under the requirements,’ which means there would not only be databases of all social media users but also of users under 18, which could be hacked by criminals or foreign governments seeking information on Utah children and adults.
“Will there be legal challenges? Absolutely. We understand that,” Cox told reporters earlier this month. “I’m not going to back down from a potential legal challenge.”
