Gov. Tate Reeves recently signed into law a bill known as the Mississippi Keeping Kids Safe Online Act. Patterned after laws in California and New Mexico, Mississippi’s version puts more responsibility on social media companies for the products they encourage young people to use.
A story on the Magnolia Tribune website said, for starters, that social media websites must have written permission from parents before a Mississippi minor can legally use the site. Further, platforms that make inaccurate claims about their websites’ safety features can be fined $10,000 by the state.

For the 50 percent of Mississippians who enjoy a glass of wine with their meal, the last few months have been educational as the state-run Alcohol Beverage Control warehouse has been in disarray.
Mississippi has the fifth lowest alcohol consumption in the nation at 2.17 gallons per year. Utah is the lowest at 1.34 followed by West Virginia, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Georgia.
Roughly 30 of Mississippi’s 82 counties are dry in some fashion. Many of these “dry” counties are considered “moist” since towns and cities within those counties are wet.
