SUMMARY: Georgia is considering a bill that would require children under 16 to have parental consent to create social media accounts. The bill also includes bans on social media use on school devices, requiring porn sites to verify users are over 18, and additional education on social media and internet use in schools. Some lawmakers see this bill as transformative, while others warn of issues it may cause. The bill aims to protect children by limiting social media use, verifying ages, and preventing access to porn sites. Similar laws have been passed in other states, and tech companies like Meta are taking steps to verify ages on their platforms.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Beryl, which began as a Category 2 hurricane, weakened to a tropical storm but is forecasted to regain hurricane status and hit southern Texas by Sunday night or Monday. The National Hurricane Center predicts landfall between Brownsville and north of Corpus Christi, with potential rapid intensification due to warm Gulf waters. Experts warn it could become a Category 2 or 3 storm. Beryl has already shown unprecedented rapid intensification, with significant increases in wind speed. This early-season storm reflects unusually warm Atlantic waters, potentially influenced by climate change and a developing La Nina, suggesting a more intense hurricane season ahead.
