A trade group that represents TikTok and other major tech companies sued Utah this week over its first-in-the-nation laws requiring children and teens to obtain parental consent to use social media apps.
A GROUP REPRESENTING TIKTOK, META, AND X SUES UTAH OVER STRICT NEW LIMITS ON APP USE FOR MINORS

Two laws signed in March by Republican Gov. Spencer Cox will prohibit minors from using social media between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. unless authorized by a parent — and require age verification to open and maintain a social media account in the state.

The restrictions are designed to protect children from targeted advertisements and addictive features that could negatively impact their mental health. Both laws take effect March 1, 2024.

The NetChoice trade group argues in its federal lawsuit that although Utah’s regulations are well-intentioned, they are unconstitutional because they restrict access to public content, compromise data security and undermine parental rights.
