The good news is that if Utah isn't your cup of tea, there are 49 other States with different laws you can choose to live in. And when you’re old enough to vote, you can make your voice heard.

Just FYI, HB 311 was amended considerably at the beginning of March and is now a social media addiction / consent bill. Not a good bill, but it doesn't have the same problems as SB 152, and neither bill now requires companies to store the collected data.
