This bill proposes to amend Title 18 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new Chapter 8, which establishes specific requirements for social media platforms that provide services to minors. Under the new provisions, these platforms must implement privacy settings that protect minors, allow them to opt out of unnecessary data collection, and refrain from targeting advertising based on personal information, except for age and location. The enforcement of these requirements would be the exclusive responsibility of the attorney general, and the bill clarifies that it does not create a private right of action for individuals.
Additionally, the bill defines key terms such as "minor," "online service, product or feature," "personal information," and "social media platform," while also specifying exclusions for certain types of services. The act is set to take effect 180 days after its general effective date and is officially titled the "Protecting Children on Social Media Act." Overall, the bill aims to enhance the protection of minors' privacy and personal information in the digital landscape.
