Louisiana Passes Bill Banning Kids from the Internet Without Parental Consent

Which implies that everyone in Louisiana will be banned from the internet until they can authenticate as an adult.

Can this have standing, as people under 18 don't have the rights and powers of decision of adults. Isn't this more a law that is directed at parents for the actions of their kids? What are the legal restrictions, if any, of the state monitoring internet use of both minors and adults? Or are you supposed to narc on your neighbour's kids?

It seems these laws are passed in the knowledge that they'd be ruled unconstitutional, but that fighting them would be too expensive for most companies (dollars + secure storage of ID information + being attacked for being anti-child safety).

Then you can just selectively enforce the law - and companies know it - to then unconstitutionally suppress speech.

That said the title of the article is annoying - when I first saw it my immediate thought was "surely the parents paying for an internet connection their child[ren] use is parental consent?"

Clickbait title. They are banned from creating social media accounts.

"Let's put up gates against online access a 32% black state, with 20% at or below the poverty line."

Perhaps this will protect them from the lies and misinformation spread by legislators.
