Arkansas
In April, Arkansas Governor and former Donald Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed into law the country’s second law requiring parental consent for minors to access social media platforms. Unlike some other state proposals, Arkansas’ law specifically targets social media platforms and forces them to contract with third-party companies to verify the ages of new users. If those users are under the age of 18, they will need to obtain consent from a parent or guardian before creating an account. Companies found to violate the law could face fiend of up to $2,500 per offense when it’s slated to take effect in September
