A bill requiring parental consent for minors to use social media accounts passed unanimously by the Utah House Judiciary Committee Friday.
SALT LAKE CITY — A bill requiring parental consent for minors to use social media accounts was passed unanimously by the Utah House Judiciary Committee Friday.
That was removed from the now-approved version, which would require parents to give consent for their children to use social media.“The original bill before the amendment showed that you had to provide proof of your age and who you were. Well, that proof is from a government ID, the government ID is linked to you your address, all your information and also to your children because your address is obvious to their address," said mother of five Tiffany Barker.
“I don't think it's the government's job to tell us how to parent," she said,"And so I don't like the government coming in and saying, 'These are the rules you have to implement for your children.' I like them to know that I know best for my child.” “All this is doing is empowering parents with tools and resources to manage what is a potentially dangerous, emotional challenge for our kids," said Horsley.“It breaks my heart to see, on a daily basis, law enforcement and our school administrators dealing with our children's wellbeing, investigating — literally hundreds of hours spent investigating — fake threats that cause unnecessary panic for our kids, cyberbullying, other challenges," said Horsley.
