Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) said Sunday that his state's new first-of-its-kind legislation that restricts children and teens from using social media without their parents' consent are not expected to be 'foolproof.'
Driving the news:
Cox said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that his administration is working with social media companies to implement the legislation, which was passed Thursday, but he also acknowledged the potential for roadblocks."But we are working with social media companies, again, over the course of the year, we will be going through a rule-making process to figure out what that’s going to look like," he added.
He called on Congress to implement laws regulating social media. "But the states have to lead out," he said, adding that he "expects other states to follow."
