The City Council Committee on Public Safety on Wednesday approved Ald. Brian Hopkins’ (2) 12-hour time-and-place curfew ordinance but held a companion ordinance from Ald. William Hall (6) that would seek to compel social media platforms to take down posts that advertise the potentially unruly mass teen gatherings targeted by both pieces of legislation. 

Hall’s measure was held to allow city lawyers to iron out some of the specifics in the ordinance.
