TO AMEND THE SOCIAL MEDIA SAFETY ACT.
SB 611, now Act 900, amends the Social Media Safety Act to implement new default settings for minors using social media platforms in Arkansas. The bill requires platforms to automatically stop non-safety notifications for minor users between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. CST, with options for parents or guardians to modify this setting. It also mandates that privacy and safety settings for minors default to the most protective level offered by the platform. Additionally, the act clarifies the definition of "personal information" as "personally identifiable information."
