Use of social media for minors ages 15 and younger regulated, and anonymous age verification required for websites harmful to minors.

This bill restricts social media use for minors in Minnesota by prohibiting those under 14 from creating accounts and requiring parental consent for users aged 14 and 15. It defines specific platforms as "social media" based on features like infinite scrolling and algorithms that analyze user data, while excluding simple email or direct messaging services. The law mandates that platforms terminate accounts for minors without proper consent and permanently delete their personal information after a dispute period. Additionally, the legislation requires anonymous age verification for websites deemed harmful to minors.
