They require age verification for anyone in the state who wants to create a social media account, which critics say could compromise users' data security. “We will continue to lead the nation in protecting kids against social media, and we will hold social media companies accountable for the harm that they are inflicting upon our youth,” Adams said. Since escaping, she has used social media to help girls in similar situations. The laws also create new pathways for parents to sue social media companies for causing their children harm. Federal judges have temporarily blocked Arkansas and Ohio from enforcing their state laws requiring parental consent for minors to create new social media accounts.

☆ The Great Salt Lake Is Shrinking Rapidly and Utah Has Failed to Stop It, a New Lawsuit Says
  + stars: | 2023-09-06 | by ( Associated Press | Sept. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +5 min
Utah state officials didn't immediately return a request for comment Wednesday. Spencer Cox earlier this year created a position and chose the first-ever commissioner of the Great Salt Lake in an effort to find solutions. The risks of a diminished Great Salt Lake aren't merely beached sailboats and wider beaches. It threatens species extinction and toxic dust clouds ballooning over nearby communities, the lawsuit says. Already, a pelican colony on a Great Salt Lake island has floundered after their island became a peninsula, letting in coyotes, Seed said.

☆ Utah changed its state flag to honor Mormon work ethic — but it was a total flop. Now, even the state's governor admitted he 'should have known better.'

Utah's new flag design is ruffling feathers, and people are already trying to replace it. Spencer Cox said that he should "have known better" that the new flag would be unpopular. Brandon Beckham, a member of Utah's Republican party central committee, told the Journal that the new design is "just a logo." "The original Utah flag has built in its ideals that are true to the founding of the state that are linked to history," Beckham told the Journal. Ryan Woods, a conservative drag performer known as Lady MAGA USA, said the change flies in the face of history.
☆ Business fights back as Republican state lawmakers push anti-ESG agenda
  + stars: | 2023-04-22 | by ( Ross Kerber | Industry Insight | Reuters Professional | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +8 min
A Reuters review of testimony, previously unreported public documents and interviews with elected leaders, lobbyists and attorneys detail mounting challenges to many pending anti-ESG bills. The tussles have financial implications for some of the largest investment firms that manage billions of dollars for state pension plans. Lauren Doroghazi, senior vice president at government relations consultant MultiState Associates, said the debates show lawmakers coming to terms with the anti-ESG bills' practical impact. Several public pension systems raised concerns about it, including the largest, the $182 billion Texas Teacher Retirement System (TRS). For instance, if federally-regulated local banks faced new national rules on an issue like climate change disclosures, banks would need special permissions from local officials to keep public business in Utah he said.
☆ Utah governor signs laws curbing social media use for minors
  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
March 23 (Reuters) - Utah Governor Spencer Cox on Thursday signed two laws intended to restrict social media use by minors, becoming the first U.S. state to require parental permission for anyone under 18 to use such platforms as Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. The two bills, passed earlier this month by Utah's Republican-controlled legislature, are also meant to make it easier to sue social media companies for damages. The impact of social media on children has been the subject of a growing national debate in the United States, where service providers are largely protected from liability over their content under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. "We're no longer willing to let social media companies continue to harm the mental health of our youth," Cox, a Republican, said in a message on Twitter. The bills, which the tech industry opposes, requires all users to submit age verification before opening a social media account.
☆ Democrats, Republicans, and companies all seem to agree: college degrees aren't the future
  + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( Ethan Dodd | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
A bachelor's degree has become a common requirement for landing US jobs, even those that didn't previously require one. Josh Shapiro signed an executive order opening up 92%, or roughly 65,000, of state jobs to those without college degrees. They urged more states to follow to move the economy away from a preference for college degrees, restoring a sense of fairness many Americans feel is lost. Oregon also issued a temporary order in 2022 allowing those without bachelor's degrees to work as substitute teachers. A college degree may increase your earning potential, but it may not hold the keys to the middle class for much longer.

She said the US was moving closer to a civil war and "we have to do something about it." Greene responded by saying that she doesn't want a civil war, but that the country was moving towards one and action needs to be taken. "The last thing I ever want to see in America is a civil war. "We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government," she said. She described it not as a civil war but "a legal agreement to separate our ideological and political disagreements by states while maintaining our legal union."
