Nebraska social media age-verification bill moves forward
Nebraska lawmakers moved forward this week with a bill requiring age verification for social media accounts, advancing it by a 38-2 vote. Introduced by State Sen. Tanya Storer and backed by Governor Jim Pillen, the proposal aims to bolster parental oversight and address youth mental health concerns. Supporters say it’s a necessary step to protect young users, while critics warn it could infringe on First Amendment rights and lead to legal challenges. The bill now heads to a second round of debate. Juan Salinas II with Nebraska Examiner has the full story.
