Bill Intelligence
The bill aims to regulate social media platforms for the protection of children. It defines terms such as "addictive social media feed," establishes age-based safety settings, and requires methods for identifying minors. It outlines operator responsibilities, such as restricting minor activity and providing de-identified data to the General Attorney. Violations may lead to civil penalties, and the General Attorney has exclusive enforcement authority. The bill does not authorize actions otherwise prohibited by federal or state law and mandates regulation promulgation. This legislation is slated to take effect on August 1, 2027.
