The tech sector is voicing its discontent with Arkansas’ legislation mandating age verification on social media platforms. NetChoice, a coalition of technology companies that counts Google, Meta, and TikTok among its members, has filed a lawsuit against the state of Arkansas. The suit alleges that the Social Media Safety Act infringes on rights protected by the First Amendment, compelling users to disclose private information to access social media platforms, thereby undermining the autonomy of families.
Additionally, NetChoice contends that the Act compromises privacy and safety by necessitating that internet companies lean on third-party entities for storing and monitoring children’s data. The coalition asserts that state dwellers are frequently unfamiliar with or detached from these third-party services. Moreover, NetChoice claims these external companies are particularly susceptible to cyber-attacks. The lawsuit also states that the legislation endeavors to exert control over the internet beyond the state’s jurisdiction and in disregard of federal law, as Arkansas lacks the means to confirm residency without demanding personal data.
In response to this, State Attorney General Tim Griffin has conveyed to Engadget that he is fully prepared to safeguard the Social Media Safety Act staunchly. The legislation mandates age verification for all users through means such as providing driver’s license information or other comparable methods. Furthermore, users below 18 years of age are required to obtain permission from a parent. The law provides exemptions that seemingly encompass prominent social media platforms and relevant services, including those tailored for “professional networking” (akin to LinkedIn) or platforms featuring brief entertainment videos (comparable to TikTok).
This move by Arkansas is indicative of a larger wave among legislators to impose age verification on social media platforms. States, including Utah, Connecticut, and Ohio, are either enacting or evaluating analogous laws. Moreover, Senator Josh Hawley has introduced a federal bill aimed at prohibiting social media access for individuals under 16. The underlying concern is that young users may encounter undesirable characters and unsuitable content and that engagement with these platforms can adversely affect mental health by offering a distorted perception of reality and fostering dependency.
The outcome of the lawsuit remains uncertain. However, should it prevail, it might have ramifications on similar endeavors to authenticate ages through personal information. If the Arkansas model is judged to conflict with the Constitution, it might force other states to abandon their respective campaigns.
Stripchat has restored Amazon Wishlist links, allowing models to once again share their wishlists with fans and receive gifts through the platform.
The feature now includes an additional consent step focused on privacy. Before adding a wishlist link, models must confirm that they understand Amazon may disclose their delivery address to third parties, including gift buyers.
To add an Amazon Wishlist, models need to go to My Profile, paste the link into the Amazon Wishlist field, check the privacy notice box, and save the changes.
If the privacy notice is not accepted, the wishlist link will remain hidden. The update keeps Amazon Wishlist sharing available on Stripchat while giving models clearer control over the associated privacy risks.
