U.S. District Court Judge Robert Shelby stated, "The court recognizes the State's earnest desire to protect young people from the novel challenges associated with social media use. However, the state has not articulated a compelling state interest in violating the First Amendment rights of the social media companies." This highlights the tension between state interests and constitutional rights.
In response to the ruling, Republican Gov. Spencer Cox expressed disappointment, saying, "It is a battle worth waging, due to the harm that social media is causing children." His comments underline the ongoing debate about protecting minors online.
