Georgia has taken a significant step towards regulating children's social media use by passing Senate Bill 351. The bill, which received overwhelming support in both the House and Senate, aims to protect minors by requiring parental consent for those under 16 to create social media accounts.
In addition to the parental consent requirement, the bill also prohibits social media use on school devices and internet services. It mandates that porn sites verify users are 18 or older and calls for increased education by schools on social media and internet use.
