The new laws also limit time spent on social media, prohibiting children under 18 from using social media between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to be foolproof. There\u2019s no question about that. But we are working with social media companies, again, over the course of the year, we will be going through a rule-making process to figure out what that\u2019s going to look like,&#8221; Cox told host Chuck Todd. <\/p>\n<p>The Utah governor urged Congress to enact similar federal laws on social media and believes other states will follow Utah&#8217;s lead on social media legislation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI expect other states to follow, as you mentioned, and then that helps Congress kind of coalesce and come to an agreement on how we prevent these terrible harms from happening,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Cox is confident that they will &#8220;prevail&#8221; if any legal challenges arise related to this legislation. <\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b> <\/p>\n<p>Last week, TikTok CEO Shou Chew attempted to convince members of the House Commerce Committee that the app is safe for teens to use but received a grilling for five hours during the hearing.
