- Tik-Block: Federal court rules Ohio can restrict teen access to social media
A federal appeals court upheld an Ohio law requiring parental consent for teens under 16 to access social media, allowing it to proceed after years of legal challenges. NetChoice, representing companies like YouTube and Meta, argued the law violated the First Amendment, but judges ruled the burden on speech was marginal. The decision split the court, with one judge dissenting over free speech concerns.
