Legal regulations impacting social media users and children

Various states and entities are enacting laws and regulations to address social media and online safety concerns. In Pakistan, a bill aims to empower the Special Investment Facilitation Council and the National Digital Commission to oversee digital initiatives and policies. Meanwhile, in the United States, Illinois has passed a law requiring compensation for children featured in family vlogs, aiming to protect their rights. On the other hand, Mississippi's attempt to enforce age verification on social media platforms was blocked by a federal judge, citing concerns about free speech rights. Additionally, Georgia has introduced new laws focusing on school safety, including penalties for passing stopped school buses and requirements for defibrillators and antidotes in schools, along with regulations targeting online bullying and content access.
