Just before it was to go into effect, a federal judge temporarily blocked Arkansas legislation that required parental consent for children to open new social media accounts.

District Judge Timothy L. Brooks of the Western District of Arkansas granted a preliminary injunction (pdf) on Aug. 31, in response to a motion by Netchoice, a trade group for social media giants, including Meta, TikTok, and X.
