Senate Bill No. 885, known as the Safe Screens for Kids Act, aims to enhance the protection of minors using social media platforms. The bill defines key terms such as "algorithm," "artificial intelligence," and "minor," and establishes regulations that prohibit minors from using social media without parental consent. It mandates that social media platforms implement age verification methods and provide parents or guardians with full access to their minor's account. Additionally, the bill restricts data collection from minor users, allowing only de-identified data to be collected and prohibiting targeted advertisements directed at minors.

The legislation also prohibits the use of algorithms, artificial intelligence, or machine learning to personalize content for minors based on their data. Furthermore, it disallows features that encourage excessive use or exploit the psychological vulnerabilities of minors. The Attorney General is granted the authority to enforce these provisions and create rules to ensure compliance, with the act set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
