Utah Is the First State to Limit Teens Under 18 From Social Media Access -

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) signed two bills on March 23 (SB 152 and HB 311) prohibiting children under the age of 18 from using social media between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., and requiring age verification for anyone who wants to use social media in the state. The bills were signed on the same day that TikTok’s chief executive officer testified before Congress about, among other things, the platform’s effects on teenagers’ mental health. Both Utah laws are set to take effect in March 2024.
