DES MOINES – A bill passed in the Iowa House this week with bipartisan support could require more parental involvement for minors in social media. House File 2523 passed by an 88-6 margin, which if it gets through the Iowa Senate and Governor’s signature, would require a written statement signed by parents or guardians for anyone under the age of 18 to create a social media account. It would require the companies to verify that information and provide access to those adults of any private messages or other account activity.

MINNEAPOLIS – Another special milestone was knocked down by the country’s best collegiate basketball player, this time during the Big Ten tournament opener against Penn State Friday.

Clark and the #2 seed Hawkeyes are the top remaining team in the final four of the bracket, after several first and second round upsets.
