Texas may soon pass into law one of the most restrictive set of social media rules for minors, including making it illegal for those under 18 to be on social media. House Bill 186 would not only prohibit minors from creating new social media accounts on services such as TikTok, Instagram and X, but it would require age verification for everyone else creating a new account. Under the law, parents could request a minor's social media account be deleted and the platform would be required to remove

In a nutshell: Texas wants to emulate Florida by imposing a ban on minors signing up for social media accounts, but it would go even further: while Florida bars those under 14, the Texas proposal would raise the minimum sign-up age to 18. House Bill 186, which was introduced in November, is currently making its way toward becoming a law in Texas. It has already passed the Texas House with bipartisan support, and it appears to be gaining plenty of approval from members of the Senate, paving the
