A federal district court has issued temporary blocks on several provisions of Texas’ SCOPE Act, aimed at restricting minors' access to certain materials and advertisements on social media. Judge Robert Pitman deemed some sections unconstitutional, stating they were too vague. While the law aims to enhance parental control over children’s online exposure, critics argue it is overly broad and infringes on individual rights. This injunction builds on previous rulings and will stand until final judgments are made, sparking ongoing debates about social media regulations for minors.
"While not blocking the law in its entirety, the injunction goes further than previous rulings to limit which materials minors can see on social media."
"Supporters of the SCOPE Act hoped the law would give parents more control over their children's online exposure and privacy regarding sensitive information."
