Bill No. 1275 aims to enhance the protection of minors on social media platforms in Oklahoma by implementing strict age verification requirements and limiting the access of minors to these platforms. The bill prohibits social media companies from allowing users under the age of sixteen to create accounts and requires those aged sixteen or seventeen to obtain express consent from a parent or legal guardian. Additionally, social media companies must verify the age of account holders and may utilize third-party vendors for reasonable age verification methods. The bill also defines key terms such as "social media platform," "minor," and "dark pattern," and outlines the responsibilities of social media companies regarding the processing of minors' personal information.

Furthermore, the bill establishes penalties for social media companies that fail to comply with these regulations, including potential fines and liability for damages resulting from unauthorized access by minors. It mandates that social media platforms cannot process minors' personal information if it poses a substantial risk to their privacy or well-being. The Attorney General is empowered to enforce these provisions, and social media companies are given a 45-day period to rectify any violations. The legislation emphasizes the importance of safeguarding minors from the adverse effects of social media while ensuring that the content itself is not censored.
