A federal judge has temporarily blocked Arkansas from enforcing a law that would have required parental consent for minors to create Social Media Accounts. The law, signed by Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was set to take effect on Friday. The tech industry trade group NetChoice, which includes TikTok, Facebook Meta, and X (formerly Twitter) as members, had requested the injunction. The judge ruled that NetChoice was likely to succeed in its challenge to the law's constitutionality and questioned its effectiveness in addressing the state's concerns. Similar laws have been enacted in Utah, Texas, and Louisiana.
