A court ruling has granted a preliminary injunction against the Parental Notification by Social Media Operators Act.The lawsuit was filed by NetChoice LLC, a tr
a trade group which represents multiple social media sites to stop the act, which would force companies to get verifiable parental consent for children under 16, from going into effect, claiming the it is unconstitutional and violates the right to free speech.
After the ruling, both Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted released statements after the injunction was granted. “There is overwhelming evidence that social media has a negative effect on the mental health of minors, including increases in depression and suicide-related behavior,” DeWine said. “The Social Media Parental Notification Act remains a reasonable, clear, narrowly tailored, and, I believe, lawful approach to provide safeguards and parental guidance. I am disappointed in today’s ruling by the district court and respectfully disagree with it.
"It's disappointing, but it will not deter us from our responsibility to protect children from exploitative social media algorithms that are causing a crisis of depression, suicide, bullying, and sexual exploitation among our children," Husted said. "These companies could solve this problem without passing new laws, but they refuse to do so. Because social media companies will not be responsible, we must hold them accountable.
NetChoice's lawsuit against Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost vis-à-vis the Parental Notification by Social Media Operators Act continues to move through the legal system.
