One year after Indiana policymakers enacted a law requiring pornography websites to verify users’ ages, a new bill seeks to further restrict Hoosiers under age 16 from creating social media accounts without “verified” parental permission.

Indiana lawmakers are weighing a bill that would require parental consent before Hoosiers under age 16 can access social media. Senate Bill 11 would ban young people from social media websites unless their parents explicitly give them permission − and could open up social media companies to legal action if they don't enforce the rules.

If Senate Bill 11 is passed, kids under the age of 16 would need verifiable parental permission to access social media platforms.

Oumar Ballo powered his way to 23 points and Indiana overcame an early double-digit deficit to beat USC 82-69 Wednesday. The Hoosiers (13-3) earned their fourth win in five Big Ten Conference games, the program's best start since the 2015-16 season.
