   1. The law requires social media platforms to verify users’ ages and obtain parental consent before anyone under 16 can create or use an account.
   2. NetChoice, whose members include Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, challenged the law on First Amendment grounds, arguing it was vague and forced disclosure of personal information.
   3. The majority opinion, written by Judge Eric Clay, held that the law is merely a “parental consent requirement” and does not violate the First Amendment.
