NetChoice lacks standing to bring its complaint challenging the constitutionality of Ohio’s Social Media Parental Notification Act on First Amendment grounds, and it hasn’t “been deprived of any federal or state constitutional or statutory rights,” as a result of the statute, said Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s (R) answer Wednesday in U.S. District Court for Southern Ohio in Columbus. NetChoice won a temporary restraining order Jan. 9 that blocked Yost from enforcing the statute when it took effect Jan. 15, and it now seeks a preliminary injunction (see 2401090062). “The challenged law is supported by substantial and compelling state interests,” and it meets “constitutional scrutiny,” said Yost’s answer. The AG reserves the right to supplement his answer with additional defenses, including affirmative defenses, “as litigation in this matter proceeds,” it said. Having “fully answered” NetChoice’s complaint, Yost asks that the court dismiss NetChoice’s claims with prejudice, that NetChoice be awarded no relief, and that NetChoice pay court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, the answer said.
