- Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared two legislative proposals in 2025 focused on expanding social media protections for children.
- This announcement followed a federal judge's decision deeming an Arkansas law requiring age verification on social media unconstitutional.
- Sen. Dees and Rep. Eubanks sponsored these protections, aimed at granting parents the right to sue Big Tech if toxic online content leads to a child's suicide attempt.

- Sanders asserted these actions fix issues within the Social Media Safety Act, while others suggest stricter measures like removing children from social media if online safety weakens.
