“Utah has become the first US state to require social media firms get parental consent for children to use their apps and verify users are at least 18.”
To check that kids are kids, Utah has to check that everyone else is an adult. That means every user hands over ID. Parents also get full access to their children’s posts and private messages, starting March 1, 2024. A kid in an abusive household now needs the abuser’s permission to have an account.
