Interactive computer service providers; require parental consent and access to minor user's account history.
HB 1576 requires online platforms (like social media, gaming, and messaging services) to obtain parental consent before allowing minors under 18 to create accounts or use their services. It mandates that providers give parents access to detailed records of their child's activity - including posts, messages, friend connections, game usage, and timestamps - throughout the minor's account use. The bill also requires reasonable age verification methods to confirm users are adults before allowing account creation. This would directly affect minors, parents, and interactive computer service providers operating in Mississippi. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and was never enacted.
