Georgia's law requiring parents' permission for kids to use social media is being legally challenged.

Georgia has a new law. It needs parents to say okay for kids to use social media. The law is being challenged in court. A group called NetChoice is suing to stop the law.

Other states have similar laws. Some judges have stopped these laws. The fight is about kids' safety and free speech.

Some people think social media hurts kids. Others think kids have a right to use it. Other places like Australia have also banned social media for young kids.

NetChoice says the law is not fair. They say it stops people from speaking freely online. Georgia says they want to protect kids from bad people online.

The law says social media sites must check people's age. If they can't, they must treat them as kids. Social media sites already don't allow kids under 13, but many kids still use them.
