Big tech in Ohio suffers setback with appeals court decision on social media restrictions

# Ohio's Social Media Law Gets Legal Win A court just ruled that Ohio can enforce a law requiring kids under 16 to get their parents' permission before using social media apps like TikTok and Instagram—a rare victory against Big Tech's legal challenges. The ruling went against what major tech companies expected, since they've successfully blocked similar laws in other states by arguing they violate free speech rights. The decision means the law can now move forward while the tech industry continues fighting it in court.
