Judge Rules Social Media Companies Aren’t Obligated to Block ‘Harmful’ Content for Teens

A federal judge has ruled that social media companies can’t be forced to block certain types of “harmful” content from teens.

The SCOPE ACT was created to give parents more power over their children’s digital footprint and require parental consent for teens to create a social media account. Under the new law, parents in Texas must approve all social media accounts for their underage children. While Pitman did leave the requirement for parental consent for children creating an account and the power to supervise their online activities, he said that forcing companies to block certain politically charged terms, such as “grooming,” is too vague.
