6th Circuit Court of Appeals rules Ohio can enforce law requiring parental consent for minors using social media.
A divided 2-1 panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court injunction, allowing Ohio's Social Media Parental Notification Act to take effect. The law requires children under 16 to obtain parental consent before creating social media accounts. NetChoice, a tech industry trade group, had challenged the law as unconstitutional.
