Social media age restrictions probably won't work

Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox said Sunday that placing age limit restrictions on social media use is not fool-proof.

In an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Cox admitted that enforcing a new state law requiring a parent’s permission for a child under 18 to use social media would be tough to enforce because kids can find ways around the rules.

“We understand that there are definitely going to be enforcement issues,” Cox told host Chuck Todd. “Any time you wade into this type of an industry, it’s going to be tough. And we don’t expect that we’re going to be able to prevent every young person from getting around this. Kids are really smart. That’s one of the problems.”
