Arkansas is now the second state to restrict the use of social media by children.

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed legislation requiring minors to get parental permission to create a new account.

The legislation requires social media companies to contract with third-party vendors to perform age verification checks on new users, starting in September. If the users are under age 18, parental consent will be required before creating a new account.

Arkansas is the second state to limit access to social media by minors, the AP reported. Last month, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox signed similar legislation that will go into effect March 2024.

The Arkansas legislation, officially known as the Social Media Safety Act, only covers social media platforms that generate more than $100 million in annual revenue and doesn’t apply to certain platforms, such as LinkedIn, Google and YouTube.

Critics said the exceptions weaken the law.

Social media companies that violate the age verification requirement could face a $2,500 per fine violation.
