The proposed bill, HB2858, aims to enhance the privacy protections for minors using social media platforms in Arizona. It mandates that social media platforms establish default privacy settings that prioritize user privacy, allow minors to opt out of the collection and use of their personal information, and prohibit the use of minors' personal information for targeted advertising, except for age and location. The bill also defines key terms such as "de-identified data," "personal information," and "social media platform," while excluding telecommunications and broadband services from its scope.

Additionally, the bill is titled the "Protecting Children on Social Media Act" and will take effect 90 days after its general effective date. It introduces specific requirements for social media platforms to ensure that minors' data is handled with greater care, thereby addressing concerns about privacy and targeted advertising practices that could affect younger users.
