Use of social media regulation for minors ages 15 and younger
This bill prohibits social media platforms from allowing minors under 14 to create accounts, requiring automatic termination of existing accounts for this age group with a 90-day dispute period. For 14- and 15-year-olds, platforms must obtain parental consent for account creation or maintenance, terminating accounts without consent after 90 days. The law mandates permanent deletion of all personal data when accounts are terminated. It applies to platforms meeting specific criteria (e.g., addictive features like infinite scrolling, 10% of daily users under 16 spending 2+ hours daily) and directly affects social media companies operating in Minnesota serving minors.
