The "Child Content Creation Protection Act" is a proposed legislation in Arkansas designed to safeguard minors involved in content creation. It introduces a new subchapter to the Arkansas Code, defining essential terms such as "content creator," "minor," and "social media platform." The Act requires content creators to maintain detailed records of minors' participation and compensation, including the establishment of trust accounts for the minors' earnings until they reach adulthood. It also outlines the criteria for determining a minor's engagement in content creation and their rights to receive fair compensation.

Additionally, the Act mandates social media platforms to implement mechanisms for minors or their guardians to request the removal or editing of content featuring them. It prohibits the financial exploitation of minors, particularly through the sexualization of their images, and provides legal recourse for minors to enforce these protections. The bill also allows minors to seek various forms of relief in legal actions related to their exploitation and requires social media platforms to develop risk-based strategies to mitigate risks associated with monetizing content featuring minors. Furthermore, platforms must publicly share information about their content policies and best practices regarding minors, ensuring that content creators are aware of their legal obligations. The Act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
