Mississippi Social Media Literacy and Online Safety Act; create.

HB 1570, the "Mississippi Social Media Literacy and Online Safety Act," died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted. If passed, it would have required minors under 18 in Mississippi to complete a free, state-developed social media literacy course before using platforms, covering topics like cyberbullying prevention, digital privacy, and mental health. The bill also included a "Consequence Course" for repeated online misconduct and explicitly stated it would not restrict free speech or require social media platforms to monitor content. The proposed law would have taken effect July 1, 2026, but remains inactive after failing committee review.
