Key takeaway The age threshold specified in the law is 16 years old.
A recent court decision has allowed Ohio to move forward with enforcing a law related to social media use by minors. The law requires children under a certain age to obtain parental permission before creating or maintaining social media accounts. The age threshold specified in the law is 16 years old.
This means that kids under 16 in Ohio will need permission from a parent to have a social media account. Further details about the court's decision and the law are available from the source, which can provide more information on this development.
