The proposed bill, if enacted, would introduce significant updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new chapter focused on technology content protection for minors. It would establish a framework for social media platforms, prohibiting them from entering into contracts with minors under 14 years of age without parental consent. Additionally, it would require these platforms to terminate accounts of minors under 14 and provide mechanisms for account termination requests from both the minors and their parents or guardians. The bill also outlines the obligations of social media platforms regarding the deletion of personal information and the consequences of violating these requirements, classifying such violations as unlawful practices under consumer fraud statutes.

Furthermore, the bill would mandate commercial entities that publish or distribute material harmful to minors to implement age verification methods to ensure that only individuals 18 years or older can access such content. This includes the use of anonymous and standard age verification methods, with strict guidelines on the handling of personal identifying information to protect user privacy. The bill aims to enhance the safety of minors online by establishing clear definitions and requirements for both social media platforms and commercial entities, thereby updating current statutes to reflect the evolving digital landscape.
