NetChoice says rulings on Georgia, Texas laws support enjoining Utah social media law
( July 3, 2025, 19:54 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: NetChoice told a US appeals court that rulings on Texas’ age-gating law and Georgia’s social media law supports its request for an injunction against a new Utah law setting restrictions on how minors can use social media platforms. It argued that the Supreme Court’s order on the Texas law establishes that age-verification requirements trigger strict First Amendment scrutiny. Additionally, the district court order on the Utah law held that a parental-consent requirement for minors to create accounts, and access protected speech, on social media websites violated the First Amendment.See attached files....
