Wisconsin Republican Rep. David Steffen wants wide youth social media limits
MADISON, Wis. — Social media companies would have to verify the age of Wisconsin users and get parental permission for kids to open accounts under a bill unveiled Monday by Republican Rep.The measure would also stop children under 18 from using their accounts between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., but parents could opt out of all requirements for their child.
Lawmakers across the country have been pushing to limit children’s access to social media. Nearly half of states nationwide have recently banned the popular video sharing app TikTok from state-owned devices, in many instances with bipartisan support. Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers banned the app in January.“Today, social media companies, advertisers, and predators have easy, electronic access to our kids.
To pass, the proposal needs approval from both chambers of the Republican-controlled Legislature and then a signature from Evers.said in a statement that he modeled the measure after a law Utah lawmakers passed in March. Questions have arisen about whether and how that law will be enforced, and it’s likely to face legal challenges.
