This bill establishes comprehensive regulations for social media platforms concerning accounts for minors aged 15 and younger. It requires platforms to obtain verifiable parental consent before creating or maintaining such accounts and mandates that privacy settings be set to the most private levels by default. The bill prohibits addictive interface features and targeted paid commercial advertising in the feeds of child accounts. Additionally, it outlines a process for estimating the age of account holders and requires platforms to terminate accounts if they determine the account holder is a child without parental consent.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for civil actions related to violations, allowing parents and children to seek legal recourse within three years of becoming aware of a violation, with the limitation period extending until the child reaches 18 years of age. It classifies knowing or reckless violations as deceptive trade practices and grants the attorney general enforcement authority. The new regulations are set to take effect on November 1, 2026, and will apply to accounts created before, on, or after that date.
