In plain language
The bill establishes age verification requirements for children's social media use.
The Children's Social Media Safety Act mandates that operators of social media platforms verify users' ages and implement specific settings for minors. It aims to protect children by ensuring that platforms have appropriate age verification measures in place.
What this means for you
- Families: This law affects families by ensuring social media platforms have age verification to enhance children's safety online.
- Consumers: Consumers benefit from stronger protections against unverified access to social media for minors.
Summary
Creates the Children's Social Media Safety Act. Provides that, no later than January 1, 2028, an operating system provider shall: (1) provide an accessible interface at account setup that requires an account holder to indicate the birth date, age, or both; (2) provide an operator who has requested a signal with respect to a particular user a signal that identifies the user's age by category; and (3) send only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with the provision. Provides that an operator shall not offer a platform in the State without conducting age verification as required under the Act to determine whether a user is a minor. Provides that, for all users that the operator has actual knowledge to be a minor, the operator shall use specified default settings for the minor. Provides that a violation of the Act constitutes an unlawful practice under the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to make a conforming change. Effective January 1, 2027.
