Judge temporarily blocks Arkansas law requiring parental consent for minors to create social media accounts

A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction blocking Arkansas from enforcing the law.
The tech industry trade group NetChoice challenged the law, arguing it violated users' rights.
The judge questioned the law's effectiveness in addressing concerns about minor's social media use.
Similar parental consent laws for social media accounts exist in Utah, Texas, and Louisiana.
The blocked Arkansas law exempted certain platforms like LinkedIn, Google, and YouTube.
