Mississippi asked the Supreme Court on July 30 to allow it to continue enforcing a law restricting minors’ access to social media platforms.

The new filing by Lynn Fitch, Mississippi’s attorney general, argues that House Bill 1126 is constitutional. The statute requires minors to obtain parental consent to use the websites. It also requires platforms to verify users’ ages and imposes fines for noncompliance.
