Question

How might a Supreme Court ruling to uphold the state law barring minors from using

social media affect young Americans? How might such a ruling affect social media

companies? What might be some of the unintended consequences of such a ruling?

Considering what you have learned about the Constitution, why is it very unlikely that

the Supreme Court would ever uphold a law barring young people from using social media? Can Somebody please help me

1-The reason most social media services use an age limit of 13 or over is in part because of a law in the USA. The COPPA law Children's Online Privacy Protecction Act. An entire generation of young Americans has come of age accustomed to looking to the Supreme Court to protect individual

rights,"

2-Some have argued that Congress should step in to regulate social media sites. Government action regulating internet content

3-Would constitute state action that may implicate the First Amendment. Under existing law, social media platforms may be more likely to receive First Amendment protection when they exercise more editorial discretion in presenting user-generated content, rather than if they neutrally transmit all such content.

4- Courts have concluded that many non-constitutional claims are barred by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
