Supreme Court declines to block Mississippi social media age-restriction law, for now
The Supreme Court prevented Mississippi from preventing the application of a law that would prevent Mississippi from using nine popular social media sites without the consent of their parents-this also gave a short-term coup to the technology industry group looking for emergency intervention from the Supreme Court.
When the Supreme Court decided to apply for an emergency appeal, the Supreme Court did not provide detailed information about the reasons for rejecting the emergency appeal application filed by the industrial group, a common practice, and did not provide votes count.
Nechoice, the Supreme Court had asked him to take the law to wait, and the case continued to play in the lower courts.
Only the Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh showed that the law shows that the law was “contrary to the constitution”, but showed that “Netchice would be successful in the case of the case”, and that the group decided to meet the high bark for emergency.

The comprehensive social media law, known as Mississippi’s HB 1126. The law, adopted by the state in 2024, prevents young people from accessing popular social media sites, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Pinterest and Reddit.
It also requires that social media sites take additional steps to “develop and implement” to “develop and implement” to verify the age of users before allowing accounts and maintain young people from being exposed to harmful materials.
Sites that do not comply with this may be fined up to 10,000 dollars per violation and in some cases may face criminal penalties.

In June, the US Regional Judge Halil Suleyman Ozerden issued a preliminary decision with Netchous and temporarily prevented Mississippi’s laws from implementing the laws.
The judge acknowledged that the state may have a “compelling interest in the protection of minors as online,” Mississippi’s law has escaped from the first change from the first change to the state’s goals “and the first change.
In July, the fifth circuit appeal court unanimously voted and the lower court freezed the decision of the law by allowing the law to enter into force and demanded an emergency request for the Supreme Court intervention.

NetchioCa lawyers aimed at the lack of explanation from the sub -court.
“Neither Netchioice nor this court, why the fifth circuit meets the strict demands of the first amendment, or that they have deviated from other seven other decisions that fulfill similar laws,” he said.
The emergency decision of the Supreme Court emerges because another handful of states have taken action to implement similar age verification legislation, including Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ohio and Utah.
Earlier this year, Netchoice pioneered similar cases in other states such as Florida and Texas.
