La. Legislature Passes Social Media Age Verification Bill

A Louisiana bill requiring social media companies to verify the age of users passed the legislature Wednesday. The Senate voted 25-0 to concur with House changes to SB-162, which would also require platforms to collect parental approval for minors to get accounts (see [Ref:2306060026). The bill will go to Gov. John Bel Edwards (D). The governor didn’t comment Thursday.
