An Act relating to use of social media platforms by minors; and providing for an effective date.
HB 318 requires social media platforms to default to non-addictive content delivery systems for minors (residents of Alaska under 18) without parental permission. It bans targeted advertising, excessive data collection, public account visibility, and notifications during school hours or late at night (10 PM-7 AM) for minors, unless parents opt out. Parental consent for addictive features must be verifiable and privacy-protective. The law directly affects social media platforms operating in Alaska and empowers parents to control their minor children's online experience while prohibiting manipulative design practices.
