A new state law in Ohio requiring certain social media operators to obtain parental consent before creating accounts for children under 16 will take effect in about two weeks.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, a Republican, issued a press release on Dec. 27 alerting the public that the Parental Notification by Social Media Operators Act will take effect on Jan. 15. The state’s General Assembly approved the legislation in July.
