A federal judge has blocked Utah's landmark social media law, the Minor Protection in Social Media Act, from going into effect. The law, which was set to take effect on October 1, aimed to protect the mental health of young people by requiring social media platforms to verify users' ages and impose restrictions on minors' accounts. The judge ruled that the law likely violates the First Amendment. Yesterday, the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah granted NetChoice’s request to halt the enforcement of SB 194, marking the sixth win for the organization against similar laws. #utpol
