Last week, Utah became the first state to pass a law limiting access to social media for kids under age 18. State Sen. Michael McKell, one of the bill’s sponsors, speaks about the scope of the new laws.
April 7, 2023, 12:00 PMconsiders banning TikTok
One of the bill’s sponsors, State Sen. Michael McKell, spoke to “GMA3” about the scope of the new laws, addressing concerns over privacy and how the state plans to enforce them when they go into effect next March. MCKELL: And that's a great question, and that's what parents struggle with. Oftentimes, these kids are a lot smarter than their parents when it comes to social media. So over the course of the next year, we've got some rulemaking. And what rulemaking means is our division of Consumer Protection is going to build the process to verify ages and do this parental consent program. As I've gone out in the state of Utah, parents want tools.
PILGRIM: You're a parent, you have four kids. What do you say to those parents who, they're concerned about their kids on social media, but say it should be the parents' job to regulate their kids' use and their access, not the government's?
