Texas Teens Might See an Entirely Unique Facebook Soon

Facebook users in Texas could soon notice some changes. A judge recently blocked a Texas law that would have required social media platforms to install filters for minors, but other parts of the law remain intact. These include rules about parental consent and data collection. Meta, Facebook’s parent company, has already indicated that it will be adjusting its services in response to the new regulations.

Teens and parents in Texas may find their Facebook experience shifting as the platform complies with these state-specific mandates. While the full extent of these changes isn’t yet clear, it’s a sign that social media in Texas might not be quite the same as it is elsewhere.
