An internet trade association has asked the Supreme Court to prevent Mississippi from enforcing a law restricting minors’ access to social media platforms.

The law, known as House Bill 1126, regulates social media websites operating in the state. The statute requires minors to obtain parental consent to use the sites. It also requires platforms to verify users’ ages and imposes fines for noncompliance.
