A push in Texas to ban children under 18 years old from social media platforms has failed at the state Capitol.

Texas could become the next US state to lay down the law with social media platforms. A Texas bill that would ban social media use for anyone under 18 recently moved past the Senate committee and is due for a vote in front of the Texas State Senate.

The Texas law would allow parents to request the deletion of social media accounts for those under 18. Texas may soon pass into law one of the most restrictive set of social media rules for minors, including making it illegal for those under 18 to be on social media.
