If enacted, this bill would introduce new regulations for social media platforms that provide services to minors in Arizona. Specifically, it would require these platforms to establish privacy settings that protect minors, allow them to opt out of the collection of personal information beyond what is necessary for the service, and prohibit targeted advertising based on minors' personal information, except for age and location. The bill also designates the Attorney General as the sole authority for enforcing these regulations and clarifies that violations do not create a private right of action.
Additionally, the bill would define key terms such as "de-identified data," "minor," "personal information," and "social media platform," while excluding telecommunications and broadband services from its scope. It would also provide a delayed effective date of 180 days after the general effective date and officially title the act as the "Protecting Children on Social Media Act." Overall, these updates aim to enhance the protection of minors' privacy in the digital space.
