What happened

Tech-industry trade association NetChoice challenged Arkansas' Social Media Safety Act, which required age verification and parental consent for minors to open social media accounts. The court issued a preliminary injunction in 2023 and, in March 2025, a permanent injunction holding the Act unconstitutional under the First Amendment for failing strict scrutiny — NetChoice's first permanent win against state social-media laws.
