SB 1747 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

social media; online content; minors.

Arizona's SB 1747 requires social media platforms to obtain parental consent for users under 14 to create accounts and mandates account termination for minors under 14 without consent, with a 90-day dispute period. For 14- to 15-year-olds, platforms must secure parental consent to maintain accounts or face termination, allowing parents 10 days to request account deletion. The law applies to platforms meeting specific criteria, including those with algorithms, infinite scrolling, or significant minor user engagement. It prohibits platforms from targeting minors with content or ads without verified parental consent, aiming to limit exposure to potentially harmful online content.

MODERATE

The bill was reorganized and expanded to include new provisions for online age verification of harmful content. The most significant substantive change is the addition of Article 2, which mandates age verification for websites distributing material 'harmful to minors,' a requirement that was absent in the original version. Additionally, the rules for terminating social media accounts for minors aged 14 and 15 were expanded to include specific termination requests by the minors themselves and their guardians.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from solely regulating social media platforms to also regulating commercial entities that publish or distribute material harmful to minors on any website or application.

REQUIREMENT

Added Article 2 requiring commercial entities to implement age verification (anonymous or standard) for users accessing material deemed harmful to minors.

Added new subsections allowing minors aged 14-15 and their parents/guardians to request account termination, expanding the previous rules that only applied to minors under 14.

DEFINITION

Added new definitions for 'anonymous age verification,' 'commercial entity,' 'distribute,' 'harmful to minors,' 'publish,' 'standard age verification,' and 'substantial portion' to support the new age verification requirements.

Reformatted the definition of 'social media platform' to use lowercase text and removed specific line breaks regarding video playback features.

TECHNICAL

Corrected a capitalization error in the definition of 'daily active users' where 'SOCIAl' was changed to 'social'.
