Lawmakers have passed an amended bill to require anyone 17 and younger to have parental approval to be able to use social media in Indiana.
Governor Mike Braun wants more safe options for parents and kids ever since the abduction and murder of 17-year-old Hailey Buzbee of Fishers.
Social media companies would have to use “commercially reasonable means” to determine a users age and residence.
Lawmakers are also considering creating a new Pink Alert system with fewer restrictions than are required to issue an Amber Alert for a missing and endangered child.
