North Carolina youth social media ban clears additional hurdle as it heads toward Senate vote

The North Carolina Senate is moving forward with a bill to ban social media usage for users aged 13 and under on platforms deemed "addictive," advancing it through the Senate Judiciary committee without opposition. This move has sparked debates over government overreach and the potential impact on educational resources. If the bill passes the Senate Rules committee, it will likely face a full Senate vote, raising significant questions about the balance between protecting young users and preserving access to digital learning tools.
