Supreme Court allows Mississippi to require age verification on social media like Facebook and X

Supreme Court allows Mississippi to require age verification on social media like Facebook and X Updated 13 mins ago The Supreme Court has refused for now to block enforcement of a Mississippi law aimed at regulating the use of social media by children. The case deals with an issue of growing national concern. The justices on Thursday rejected an emergency appeal from a tech industry group challenging laws passed in Mississippi and other states that require social media users to verify their ages. NetChoice, which brought the lawsuit, argues the Mississippi law threatens privacy rights and unconstitutionally restricts the free expression of users of all ages. It’s the latest legal development as court challenges play out against similar laws in states across the country.
