Certain social media algorithms that target children prohibited.
HF 48 prohibits social media platforms with over 1 million global users from using algorithms that target children under 18 in Minnesota with personalized content based on engagement metrics (like time spent or clicks). It requires these platforms to obtain verifiable parental consent before minors under 18 can create new accounts. The law exempts parental control tools, educational content from schools/universities, and government content. Violations could result in $1,000 penalties per incident (capped at $100,000 annually), and the bill takes effect January 1, 2026.
