The proposed bill amends chapter 407 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by introducing a new section, 407.2100, which focuses on the regulation of online content involving minors. It defines key terms such as "account holder," "content creator," "minor," and "restricted material," and establishes criteria for when a minor is considered engaged in content creation. The bill mandates that content creators maintain specific records related to minors featured in their content and sets forth requirements for compensating minors through trust accounts until they reach adulthood. Additionally, the bill outlines the rights of minors to request the deletion or editing of content featuring them, and it imposes obligations on social media platforms to facilitate these requests. It prohibits the financial exploitation of minors through the production or distribution of restricted material and requires social media platforms to develop strategies to mitigate risks associated with monetizing such content. The bill also empowers the attorney general to enforce its provisions and allows individuals to report violations, with potential civil actions for breaches of the law.
