- Abstract
North Carolina 's Social Media Ban The United States Supreme Court held, under less-exacting scrutiny, North Carolina's statute aiming to protect sex offenders from accessing social media sites over broadly defined social media; therefore, the law was not narrowlytailored to serve a substantial governmental purpose. 280 Based on the discussion of social media and how to survive a First Amendment challenge, this Comment proposes the following as a model statute to prohibit registered sex offenders from using social media: (a) It shall be unlawful for a registered sex offender to knowingly use, register for, or otherwise utilize "social media" to contact a minor, collect information regarding a minor, or conduct any other acts in the commission of a sexual crime. 123 Protecting the Digital Playgrounds: Narrowly Tailoring the Meaning of "Social Media" to Prohibit Sexual Predators from Using Social Media DJ Mico* TABLE OF CONTENTS I. INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................... Different State Definitions of Social Media The next step for narrowly tailoring the meaning of social media for a model statute is examining how state legislatures define the term. 143 Despite the fundamental characteristics of social media, states vary greatly in how they define social media with no settled "legal" definition of social media.
