Minnesota Digital Choice Act

This bill, the Minnesota Digital Choice Act, establishes new data rights for users of social media platforms and requires companies to allow data interoperability between platforms. It directly affects social media companies operating in Minnesota and the users of those services. The law grants users the right to delete their personal data and obtain copies of their information in a portable format, while also requiring platforms to share user data with other services using open protocols. Social media companies must respond to data requests within five business days and implement interfaces that let users move their social connections and content between platforms. The bill also mandates reasonable security measures for any personal data companies receive and allows fees only for requests that exceed established thresholds.
