Texas is preparing to ban social media for anyone at least 18 years old

Texas can become the next American state that places the law with social media platforms. The Texas Bill, which prohibits the use of social media for anyone under the age of 18, has moved until after the Senate Committee, and a vote to the Senate in Texas is scheduled to be held.
