Minnesota Digital Choice Act established, civil penalties established, and administrative rulemaking authorized.

This bill establishes the Minnesota Digital Choice Act to give users more control over their personal data on social media platforms. It directly affects social media companies and the users who interact with them by creating new data rights and interoperability requirements. Key provisions allow users to request deletion of their personal data and obtain copies in portable formats, while requiring companies to use open protocols that enable users to share their social connections and data across different platforms. The law also mandates that companies respond to data requests within five business days and maintain secure systems for handling user information.
