US Judge puts a halt on the law that limited children's social media usage
A federal judge in Ohio has issued a temporary restraining order, halting the enforcement of a law that would require children to obtain parental consent before using social media apps. The order was issued in response to a lawsuit filed by major tech companies, arguing that the law violates free speech rights. The judge expressed doubt that the law is narrowly tailored to protect children and described it as excessively restrictive. The law, scheduled to take effect on January 15, is similar to legislation enacted in other states.
